Hi everyone. Do Anabaptists believe in infant baptism, infant christening, infant dedication, or anything else related to infants?
Paladin,
The term "Anabaptist" means literally to re-baptise. During the radical reformation, the anabaptists were re-baptized as adults (most, if not all, had been baptized as infants). This brought about extreme angst amongst the Catholics (the state church in many countries) and the other churches which had broken away from the Catholics, i.e. the followers of Zwingli or Luther. There was an incredible amount of persecution because of their beliefs on this subject. So much so that the movement was almost stamped out.
So I guess the answer would emphatically no. If one believes in infant baptism, they are not anabaptists.
