Now I know why I'm not a Baptist...
For if you have fallen in with some who are called Christians, but who do not admit this truth, and venture to blaspheme the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; who say there is no resurrection of the dead, and that their souls, when they die, are taken to heaven; [in that case,] do not imagine that they are Christians, even as one, if he would rightly consider it, would not admit that the Sadducees, or similar sects of Genistae, Meristae, Galilaeans, Hellenists, Pharisees, [or] Baptists are Jews.
Well, there you have it. Baptists are an illegitimate Jewish sect! That's probably why they're not very sacramental... :-)
