Anabaptists are a varied group, united by the fact that we do not believe in infant baptism and so rebaptize adults. I'm not quite sure how we relate to Baptists!

The term anabaptist was used to describe and define certain Christians during the Reformation.
These Christians rejected infant baptism, choosing instead believer's baptism.
Since many of them had been baptized in their infancy, they chose to be rebaptized as believing adults. So their enemies called them anabaptists -- "re-baptizers."
This was taken from the Anabaptist site. and I got this from there.
Very helpful. Thanks
Apparently I am an AnaBaptist, lol.

I'm not an Anabaptist, but many of my friends are. The movement historically is about as far from the Southern Baptists as I can imagine; it began as a perjorative term, an insult, and was adopted with pride. Most Anabaptists come from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland or Poland. They were persecuted by Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans and Congregationalists alike, and the best known Anabaptist denominations are the Mennonites and the Amish.
The Mennonites I have met have been radically non-violent pacifists, strong opponenets of any war, of State and Civil religion (religious patriotism), very much involve in Social Justice and the Social Gospel. their stress tends to be on the life of Jesus ratherthan his death. I can see absolutely no common ground historically between the Baptists and the Anabaptists, but ther eis not a lot of common ground between English Baptists and Southern Baptists either. As to why the Anabaptists and Baptists share a forum, I have absolutely no idea, as I think Anabaptists really belong on their own, or perhaps sharing with the Quakers?

I don't mind sharing forums actually. There isn't too much I have seen us disagree about yet

Actually, there is a historical connection between the English Baptists and the Dutch Mennonites early in the history of the English Baptist movement. It seems that all the English Baptists carried away from the interchange was believer's baptism and the primacy of scripture. Now, these are both very good things.
You will also find today that many of the more Evangelical Mennonites (such as many Mennonite Brethren and some in the Mennonite Church) presently hold beliefs that are really qite indistinguishable from most Southern Baptists. There are many fundamentalists in both groups.
What we have in common historically is that we are all Free Church Protestants. Take a loook at the threads I bumped last night to see waht that means. I know there are quite a few Baprists who thing the word "protestant" is an insult. I do not mean to insult anyone, but merely to identify as accurately as possible the historical and doctrinal commonalities of the groups that have been assigned to this forum.

haha, guess i'm anabaptist, too!!
Believer's baptism - that's me!!
Although I do believe in a dedication ceremony where the parents commit to raising their children in a Christian home - but more in a symbolic sense.
