Description
There is increasing confusion among those of us who are called Anabaptists as to what an Anabaptist really is. Since the 16th century Anabaptists were somewhat diverse and had limited opportunity for conferences to discuss identity, their message differed one from another in numerous particulars. Severe persecution kept them on the move and unable to deeply develop a unified message beyond the basics. This enables those who call themselves Anabaptists today to support their proprietary views by quoting some Anabaptists on something. So, what is an Anabaptist?
This booklet offers a comprehensive definition of biblical Anabaptism. Without an accurate definition there is total confusion and loss of the comfort and stability of knowing who one is in the context of the larger Christian community.
