'''Anabaptists''' are a [[Christian]] offshoot that formed during the [[Protestant Reformation]] who believe that infant baptism is not valid and only believers are to be baptized.  They are known for their pacifism and their simple way of life.  The [[Amish]] are an Anabaptist sect.  Similar to the [[Puritans]], religious persecution in [[England]] drove many Anabaptists to settle in the colonies that became the United States of America.

The '''Anabaptists''' began as early as 1521 in Zwickau, [[Switzerland]].  Their doctrinal beliefs include:
 +
 +
* infant [[baptism]] is unbiblical and only adults should be baptized
 +
* there should be a restoration of primitive [[Christianity]] without oaths, capital punishment and a church hierarchy
 +
* congregations and communities should establish a new kingdom of [[God]]
 +
* opposition to war (pacifism)<ref>http://www.anabaptists.org/history/what.html</ref>

Modern [[Baptists]] are largely descended from the [[Anabaptists]].
