did they just appear out of thin air, thin air that developed into unpleasant air?

What's a "fundie"?
Christianity largely comes for Catholicism. In the Bible alone, 66 separate books are written by 40 different authors to chronicle that time in history. Many more manuscripts were excluded.
No... not just out of thin air.

The Baptists claim to be derived from the Anabaptists, which became an underground society during the middle ages, but traces it's roots to the John the Baptist story and his belief that someone should be saved by God and then be baptised, rather than people being baptised as children.
I haven't researched it enough to say it is bull for sure, but it sounds like the worst kind of revision to history to me. I find it hard to believe that a non-Catholic Christian group survived for hundreds of years in Europe during the middle ages without tales of persecution under the Inquisition being told. While I agree with them that the Biblical model for baptism shown by John the Baptist meshes with the Baptists' beliefs more readily than the Catholics', I really have doubts about the rest of the history concerning the Baptists.

As in the unpleasant air coming out of your mouth with these "questions"?
There are fundamentalists in every religion, including Catholicism.

As a Bible "fundie," I would like to address the issue you brought up. Fundamentalists are found in just about every Christian denomination. Fundamentalism is not limited to a particular church.
What is a "fundie?" A "fundie" is a person who actually believes in the fundamentals of the Christian faith. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
In other words, we believe that what the Bible says is true.

They are not an "offshoot" of Protestantism. They are simply one of the many conflicting forms of Protestantism. The entire system is flawed, and doctrinal chaos is the result.

Well I was recently called a "Bible-fundie" but I think most on here wouldn't label me that.
But not only did we (or "they") all come from Protestant background but also a Catholic background. I think people forget there was only one church for hundreds of years.

The truth and revelation of Scripture has existed since the beginning...it did not start with the Catholic church....nor protestantism for that matter.

LOL! don't mind them. look how emotional they are getting! :)
oh, I see someone who seems to be pretending a Catholic can no longer hide his sympathy to his beloved fundamentalists brethren, I wonder why he just doesn't leave the Catholic Church and march alongside the fundies?
you have my full support tango!!!

You need to change your name to Mr. generality. We believe the bible to be the true inspired word of God. I don't know who you have been talking to, but that would include protestants.
