This is a question which troubles me as -it seems- there is no anabaptist congregation in miles and miles around, so there is no way I could fellowship with anybody.

If I were to be anabaptist what could I do?

Dear brother,
Anabaptist is just a technical term for a disciple of Jesus Christ who is committed to fol owing the word of God as given by Jesus.
Wherever you live, you can share with others what you have already learned from study of scripture.
You must depend on Christ to lead you. You have no need that any man teach you anything about God.
That is why the Holy Ghost is given to us.
Open your heart and home to others and let the church be wherever you live. As you do that God will see that you are strengthened.
Many are looking for a church congregation to belong to. Love God and his word and he will add unto you.
With love in Christ

YES,
There are three who live in a disciple. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
A disciple spend every day fishing for men, first by prayer, then study of scripture and then face to face with neighbors.
Are you alone? who are your elders in Christ.
You have here a resource of brethren to encourage you in your walk. Do what Jesus says to do and don't expect to find others doing it. There are not many Christians preaching and doing what Jesus and his first disciples did..

There are many Mennonite house churches. There's probably one in your area.
There might even be other churches in the Anabaptist sect near you, like Church of the Brethren, Brethren in Christ, etc.
Where are you located?

Here is a link to Mennonite mninistries in Spain and other Anabaptist resources.

Spain is a growing mission field. If there aren't any meetings in your area now, there may be very soon.

Speaking from experience, it is very hard to go it alone. It's too easy to fall into faulty thinking or improper personal interpretations of the Bible.
You are better off staying with the Catholic church than you are leaving and trying to be a solo Christian. There are many resources on the web that will help you learn about Anabaptist faith and that can build up your knowledge of the Bible and how faith is practiced by Anabaptists.
Online communities such as this one are risky because this forum is populated mostly with neo-anabaptists and pseudo-anabaptists. Not much of what you read here can be considered true anabaptist teaching. Be especially cautious of people who tell you to form your own church or to avoid church altogether.
And don't stop looking for an Anabaptist meeting in your area. They often don't have a church building, they tend to meet in public meeting rooms, back rooms of stores, at the YMCA, in the basement of other churches, and so on.
Mennonites are out there, although it may be difficult to see them.

I'll tell you what I am going to do. I'm not sure about many things, theology and the like... and I have studied them at college... but I'm sure Jesus meant what He said. And that is what I will strive to do.
So help me God.
So help me God.

If you can't locate any anabaptist groups you may find fellowship in other evangelical traditions...the name on the door don't always guarantee what you'll find inside, and it may turn out that a non-denom, or a Methodist, or even a Baptist fellowship may be just where God wants you.

Most of the early Anabaptists were Catholics. All were reform oriented.
It is not a denominational link ,if it were I couldnt use this forum.
Everything an Anabaptist holds holy is found in the sermon on the mount. Discipleship to one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord is our faith.
This forum is very much like any congregation with each member having a portion of faith and knowledge.
There is no differance between neo Anabaptists and anabaptist except 400 years. The terms are technical not actual.
A pseudo-anabaptist is a pseudo-Christian and we all know and love many of those for they can be found in every church.
All denominational titles are echos of the past.
This thread is for those who are walking the narrow path or considering it.
With love in Christ

Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - & all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Fellowship somewhere. It need not be a church service ~ bible studies, prayer groups, etc are all forms of fellowship.
