Strict and Particular Baptists trace our roots to well before the Protestant Reformation with the Henricians, Wycliffites, Bogomils, Petrobrussians, Novstians, Paulicians, Albigensians and we Waldenses and Welsh Baptists dating to the first century (
Ephesians 2). We were bitterly persecuted by much of Protestantism, not emerging from Rome. The Anabaptists were radical various groups separate from our period preferred term "Catabaptist." John Bunyan warned against the Anabaptists in his profitable sermon The Heavenly Footman.
Apparently, you are rather ignorant of the numbers in addition to history, friend, on this point. The terms are interchangeable between charismatics and evangelicals because New Evangelicals have so broadly accepted charlatanism or charis-mania since of the 623 million in the charismatic renewal, only 170 million are Romanists; the remainder represents New Evangelicalism. Dr DW Cloud notes in The Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements: The History & The Error the National Association of Evangelicals is overwhelmingly charismatic. You are classing all evangelicals the same which cannot be done, and historic Baptists as such, which is rank ignorance. Perhaps pursuant to Proverbs in the first and fourth chapters you ought to seek out wisdom.

See the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession, 1693 (Keach's) Catechism as well as Gadsby's Catechism for the summation of my doctrinal beliefs; I do not maintain filiation and spiration. I emphatically hold to all Five Solas also the Scriptural Law of Worship.
