The third link given by **Opengrave** seem to be for a Baptist Church that claims direct ancestory from all the “true churches” down the ages. Of course, they fail to take into consideration the fact that Anabaptists are still around. They, along with the Catholic Apologetics folks from Link #2 do not recognize these churches nor a lot of other prominent movements in Christianity (Millerites, Shakers, etc). Link #1 is too broad in its categorization. Where are the Anabaptists, for one? None of these are particularly good sources, I would say.
