1. anabaptist

   Anabaptist is a term used to describe a member of a Protestant sect that emerged in the 16th-century Reformation, advocating for baptism and church membership to be only for adults who profess a personal faith in Jesus Christ, rejecting infant baptism. They also typically hold a belief in the separation of church and state, the pacifist teachings of Jesus, community-oriented living, and take a literal interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount. Examples of contemporary Anabaptist groups include the Amish, Mennonites, and Hutterites.

1. Anabaptist

   Anabaptists are Christians of the Radical Reformation of 16th-century Europe, considered Protestant by some, although some consider Anabaptism to be a distinct movement from Protestantism. The Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites are direct descendants of the movement. The name Anabaptist is derived from the Greek term anabaptista, or "one who baptizes over again." This name was given them by their enemies in reference to the practice of "re-baptizing" converts who "already had been baptized" as infants. Anabaptists required that baptismal candidates be able to make their own confessions of faith and so rejected baptism of infants. The early members of this movement abhorred the name "Anabaptist", claiming that since infant baptism was unscriptural and null and void, the baptizing of believers was not a "re-baptism" but in fact the first baptism for them. Balthasar Hübmaier wrote: As a result of their views on the nature of baptism and other issues, Anabaptists were heavily persecuted during the 16th century and into the 17th by both Magisterial Protestants and Roman Catholics.
