The Anabaptists- The Anabaptists were a protestant spin off of the church during the reformation. Their beliefs all hinged on the religous ceremony of baptism. This was considered a form of herecy from within the Catholic Church and other protestant groups as well. As a group, they kept to themselves and mostly interacted with other Anabaptists. This sole interaction was the result of them being heavily persecuted in the 16th and 17th centuries. Their other beliefs included that a Christian should take part in no form of violence, take civil office within the government, and all heavy sinnners from within the Anabaptist Church ahould be excommunicated, unless they repent.
