Hello!

I greatly admire the Anabaptist faith and I agree with them on a lot of things.

I'm an evangelical, but I have been greatly influence by Anabaptism, but I still have a few questions.

1. Can an Anabaptist believe that there is an eschatological significance to the nation of Israel and that God still has plans for it? How can an Anabaptist be pro-Israel in that sense while simultaneously affirming the doctrine of non-resistance?

2. I'm not exactly a Calvinist or an Arminian, and I want to remain open to either view. If I were to be convinced of the Calvinist view, would that disqualify me from being an Anabaptist? What about Molinism?

Can an Anabaptist believe that there is an eschatological significance to the nation of Israel and that God still has plans for it?
Obviously Certainly Yes.

How can an Anabaptist be pro-Israel in that sense while simultaneously affirming the doctrine of non-resistance?
Same as Y'SHUA. We [ekklesia] follow Y'SHUA.

If I were to be convinced of the Calvinist view, would that disqualify me from being an Anabaptist?
Probably, but just like those who claimed "I am of Apollos", they could repent and some did [probably].

What about Molinism?
Any -ism.
