First, if you're interested in Anti-Baptists, I would encourage you to visit a Catholic or Lutheran church.

I think when you said "anti Baptist" you meant "Anabaptist." (You might get more replies if you edit that post? "Anabaptist" refers to a fairly legalistic group of Christians that support adult baptism, are pacifists, and separate themselves from the rest of the world.

The main difference (although I don't know much about the Holiness Movement) is that Anabaptists are strict pacifists and are very separatist. They often live together in communities, if they can they try to be self sufficient or community sufficient. They often live on farms and many don't communicate with outsiders. Most Anabaptists also don't accept modern technology. Amish don't use telephones, cars, or electricity. Mennonites are often more liberal, they will drive cars but usually don't have cell phones, computers, or television.

Sorry that I miss-spelled the name "Anabaptist", it was not my intention to offend anyone.

Do Anabaptist believe that they must be born again as Jesus talked about John chapter 3?

Do Anabaptist send out missionaries?

We have Mennonites in a number areas of Canada. Do Hutterites fit into the Anabapist group. We have a large number of Hutterites in Western Canada. Where would they different in doctrine?

I was a Nazarene (attended ENC even) and now I am "Anabaptist" (Mennonite - was member of group that was affiliated with Hutterites). So I think I have an informed perspective of both groups. I'll post later. What you ask and what has been posted so far shows a lot of confusion and misunderstanding.

Not all Anabaptists separate themselves from the rest of the world. I am Mennonite Brethren. We are Anabaptist, but we participate in all aspects of society and are not legalistic.

We do believe in being born again. We believe in adult baptism. We do send out missionaries (my church sponsors two church plants and about ten missionary families).

Different doctrines are a bit of a challenge, unless you study each denomination's statement of faith, and it seems to me that how their statement of faith is lived out, is very different from church to church - it will look different in an urban centre than it does in a rural farming community.

Thanks.
Come to think of it, I believe the Newf. and I did attend a service in a Mennonite Brethren church in Regina Sask. a time or two. . I think there were also several students at the Alliance Bible College when I was student there.

Most Anabaptists believe in being born again, except for some strict Amish? There are a lot of Mennonite missionaries. They tend to be very evangelical.

The difference between Hutterites and Mennonites is that the Hutterites believe in community of goods. They usually live together in independent colonies.

 

[Amisk Dolcy]

Come to think about it, when I was in high school at Prairie Bible Inst. in Three Hills, Alberta there were 3 young [FONT=Tms Rmn,Times New Roman]Hutterites[/FONT][FONT=Tms Rmn,Times New Roman][FONT=Tms Rmn,Times New Roman] fellows[/FONT][/FONT] there at that time. I was talking to some one a few years back and was told that one of the young fellows is now on the staff at Prairie.
I believe that they originated from a colony in Montana

"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy."


Interesting statement Gracie.

In reality do we not all need the mercy of God equally? Just a question. Not a put down.

the seventh day anabaptists were the closest group to the original new testament believers i've ever heard/read about. They lived most like the believers in acts and the rest of the NT and they were put to death for their faith by most other religious leaders at the time. today, it's hard to find such faith in the 'free' countries. .. .. anywhere actually.

There were a mere handful of "Seventh Day Anabaptists" and they turned from seventh day sabaterianism and were absorbed by other groups.

 

[Amisk Dolcy]

What is the history and believes of the seventh day sabaterianism? What was their main doctrine in their day? I haven't heard of them before.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

the main difference they kept with the NT believers, that most others don't, is voluntary poverty. that was one of the first things discarded by the politico/religiousio system, and it is essential for life and for the other aspects of living for the gospel's sake in y'shua..... (even to be able to understand).

Could you name specifically the groups and any leaders of the groups you are referring to? The only one's I know of are Oswald Glaidt and Andreas Fischer. The larger body of Anabaptists, including those who practiced voluntary poverty and community of goods, did not maintain a seventh day Sabbath.

They don't want to be identified on the web, as even in the usa persecution, harassment and physical attacks result, (and their fellow-brethren/ekklesia who posted on forums were often banned or attacked there for their simple bold faith)
As far as historically, they said like Scriptures "do not say I am of Paul, nor I am of Apollos" for that is carnal, and besides, there are very few references to them anywhere(the one(s) that were online a decade ago have been censored or deleted as far as I can find). They were attacked and wiped out essentially, much like the holocaust last century, by political and religious authorities and armies. (The remaining ones driven underground).
Even 'the church of the silent lips' refuse publicity of any kind today, as they are subject to immediate arrest, torture, and death for themselves and their families because of the testimony of Jesus - their living lives of faith abiding in Yhwh.
Still, when a person in any country, of any faith, seeks Yhwh the One and the Only Creator, the Giver of All Life,
by Yhwh's Own Promise, according to His Word, they find Him.
