Baptists Before Luther
“The modern Baptists formerly called Anabaptists are the only people that never symbolized with the Papacy.” -Isaac Newton
The name “Anabaptist” was a name given to Bible believers by their enemies. This is why early “Baptist” groups sometimes rejected the name. For example, Thieleman J. van Braght writes in 1659:
“The name ‘Anabaptist’ was really not accepted by them by choice or desire, but of necessity…” (“The Martyr’s Mirror”)
Henry C. Vedder writes:

Frequently Asked Questions About Street Preaching
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT STREET PREACHING:
Dear Reader,
Please carefully and prayerfully consider the following answers to some questions you may have about our street preaching ministry:
Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
1. “Why do you attempt to evangelize people by speaking to them? Shouldn’t we just live a good life and build relationships with people?”
Often this question is followed by a statement, beginning with the words, “I just feel that this type of approach…” This reveals the problem. As Christians, we are commanded to use the Bible as our guidebook. Repeatedly, the Bible teaches that we should tell people the Gospel, and the other truths of God’s Word, verbally:

Ron Paul Boldly Stands Alone Against Torture

“Texas Rep. Ron Paul on Saturday called supporting torture “un-American” after two of his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination said they would allow waterboarding to be used on detainees captured by the United States if elected to the White House.
At Saturday night’s CBS/National Journal Republican presidential debate in South Carolina, businessman Herman Cain said of waterboarding, a technique where water is poured over the face of a detainee to simulate drowning: “I don’t see it as torture. I see it as an enhanced interrogation technique.”
Likewise, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said to applause: “If I were president, I would be willing to use waterboarding.”

Fort Worth Police Arrest Christian Preacher and Reporter at Gay Pride Parade!
Press Release:
Fundamental News.com
On October 1st, 2011, the homosexual community celebrated the fact that they were able to have their parade through downtown Fort Worth for the first time. Betsy Price, the Fort Worth mayor, was the “grand marshal” of the parade. Christians from Kingdom Baptist Church, in Venus, TX, and Old Paths Baptist Church, in Roswell, NM, protested the parade, with Gospel preaching and Biblical warnings. At first, the Fort Worth police department attempted to deny the Christians the use of blow horns, stating that it was against city code. When challenged by the Christians to produce the code, the police backed down. The parade ended in front of the Fort Worth Convention Center, where the homosexual organizers had prepared various booths, games, and a public area of celebration. The police formed a wall, facing the Christian evangelists, with their backs to the homosexuals (as if to protect the homosexuals from the preachers!). Various men preached to the homosexual crowd. Video shows one homosexual coming up to a preacher, in plain view of the police, and cussing, and getting in his face. He is beckoned to leave, and given a “pat on the back” by police. After a few minutes of preaching, a police woman (possibly homosexual) is seen discussing something with other officers. The police then come over to the preacher with the blow horn, and place his hands behind his back and cuff him, and place him into a police car (for about 45 minutes, until being taken to jail). Immediately after his arrest, a free lance reporter (I-reporter for CNN, who was neutral), becomes absolutely enraged. He takes the blow horn and begins to say that the homosexual had actually used the “F” word, and that the Christians had said nothing unlawful or profane. Police then arrested the reporter for repeating what the homosexual had said to the Christian! The crowd went wild in applause. Amazingly, the police report tells an incredible story! It is pure fabrication! They make up a story about the preacher using profanity on the blow horn (saying the preacher said that the homosexuals should go and _____ themselves”). They say they were “alarmed” at the speech. They then say that one homosexual complained about the speech, and that is when they decided to arrest the preacher. They then claim (unbelievably) that the reporter grabbed the blow horn and also began to say, “Like the preacher just said, why don’t you all go and _____ yourselves!” This is all very amazing in light of the fact that there are close up videos of the whole affair! The street preacher says nothing offensive. He is so close to the police that they could hear his words without the blow horn. But he used a blow horn, so no one could misunderstand anything he said. There is no profanity. Yet, the preacher was charged with disorderly conduct, due to offensive language over a blow horn. When they arrested the street evangelist (a black member of Kingdom Baptist Church), the whole homosexual crowd erupted with cheers. The Christians (along with the reporter) do not intend to ignore this miscarriage of justice. Awhile back, the Fort Worth police were accused of discrimination for raiding a gay bar. They have been launching a campaign ever since, to show that they are homosexual friendly. Either this unjust arrest was another “gift” to the homosexual community, to pat it on the back, or it was simply a result of the rage of a lesbian police officer, who could not stand the Biblical preaching (or both). Local Christian radio stations are helping to get this story out in the open. We hope more news media will help report this outrageous, clear denial of religious liberty and 1st Amendment rights. The preacher was arrested, and thrown in jail until 10:00 that evening. His rights to speak his mind against the homosexual community, in a peaceful, law abiding manner, were greatly infringed.

Some of the preaching from this event has already been downloaded onto You Tube (search under Fundamental News, and Fort Worth Gay Parade, 2011)
The video of the arrest (and the preaching before it) has not yet been made public.
P.S. There is no way the police can say that the alleged profanity of Mr. Robinson occurred some time earlier. The video recorded the whole thing; and also the police report claims that the profanity occurred right after the homosexual man uttered the profanity at Shaun. The profane homosexual man, who came close to assault was given a pat on the back. The preacher, who ignored it, and kept on exercising his rights, was arrested!

Fort Worth Police send lesbian-looking police “woman” to arrest Christian
The Christians were prohibited from coming close to the Fort Worth Convention Center, even though there was plenty of public sidewalk in front of it. This was a denial of rights. They chose to exclude certain people based on religious belief, while others, that appeared to agree with sodomy, were allowed to enter. It is one thing to forbid truly unlawful conduct. It is quite another thing to forbid people from speaking their views on a public sidewalk, when others are on the sidewalk spewing forth their own views, along with lewd gyrations, and foul language. Finally, the lesbian-looking police “woman” came over to a preacher and began to arrest him for doing nothing but standing back where police had told him to stand. He was not in the road, or near the so-called “forbidden area.” He was standing there preaching, and they arrested him. They handcuffed him behind his back, and made him sit in a police car for a very long time, until they took him to jail. He is awaiting his charges, but we have heard that they are attempting to charge him with the vague “disorderly conduct.” They only arrested one evangelist, out of many. This was their “offering” to the homosexual crowd. They all applauded as the lesbian-looking police “woman” removed this man from exercising his Constitutional, and God-given rights. Even if they try to drop the charges, they have detained this man, removed him from preaching, and have handcuffed him behind his back for a ridiculous amount of time, as they smirked, and finally took him to jail. We will soon make the video available so that all may see that this man was not “disorderly” – unless you happen to be a lesbian-looking police-woman! I am sure many considered any preaching against their destructive, unnatural lifestyles (paraded in front of children), as disorderly. Shame on these representatives of the Fort Worth police. How far will they go to kiss the feet of the homosexual community? They started off the day by trying to tell us that it was not legal to have a blow horn in the city! After telling them that we know the law, they backed off, and things went decently well. Of course, they chose to have us walk down the sidewalk with signs, in the midst of the homosexual crowds. This produced many provocations, and assault by homosexuals, that we chose to ignore. We told them it would be far more reasonable to have us go down the street. Yet, they denied this, and made us walk down the crowded sidewalks. But they then showed their foolishness by trying to detain us for a time, under the guise of crowd-control. When we would no longer be detained, they let us go, only to tell us that we were not permitted to go near the Convention Center – even on the public sidewalk. Fort Worth police needs to learn some serious lessons about equal rights. There were many “high fives” as they tried to make the homosexuals feel better in the midst of the preaching. The arrest of a protestor by the lesbian-looking police woman (who tried hard to be manly), was apparently their sweet little offering to the pathetic parade. God help us. Vengeance belongs to the Lord.
