sorry about that. remmenants that beleived these things before this time. God has always had a people for Himself any help you can give would be appreciated.
Not sure what you mean by “these things”, but I’ll assume you mean Christians who dissented from the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church prior to the official Reformation.
The earliest Pre-Reformation group of which I am aware is the Waldensians, believed to have been founded around 1177-1179 AD by Peter Waldo. They taught laypersons from the Scripture without the permission of the Roman Church, who then declared them to be heretics and had many of them martyred. You can find more info about them online, just google “Waldensian”.
As far as I know there aren’t any extant records of dissension prior to this group which is not surprising when you consider that openly dissenting from the Roman Church resulted most often in a death sentence. If there are other records I’d be interested in knowing about them myself.
>”… remmenants that beleived these things before this time. ”
No, there were no remnants that beleived these things before this time. Unfortunately, during the mid-1800’s, the book Trail of Blood popularized the remnant myth. Baptist and other historians have since disproved the myth. All Reformation congregations trace their lineages directly to the Catholic Church of the 1500’s.
Baptist Successionism: A Crucial Question in Baptist History (McGoldrick, The American Theological Library Association and The Scarecrow Press, 1994).
McGoldrick examines many groups claimed as “early Baptists” (or early Evangelicals who are “baptistic”) such as the Montanists, Novatians, Paulicians, Bogomils, Albigenses, Waldenses and other groups and individuals. None of these groups were in fact “early Evangelicals” but were either explicitly Catholic in doctrine or grossly heretical (such as the later Albigenses who denied the Incarnation).
If you would like to read what the Christian Church taught and believed from 100-1500, I recommend the CCEL library at Calvin College:
how can you say there was no remmenant at this time God has always had a people to call His own. There has alway been believers. Did the work started my our savior die and some come back during the reformation. thank you for your answers it is not my intention to hurt any one just to understand more.

I don’t know who they were personally, but perhaps one of our readers could help you with that question.

I’d start with the Didache and then Justin Martyr’s First Apology. Ignatius of Antioch’s epistle to the Smyrnaeans is a short and insightful read.
God bless…
