Anabaptist and related churches

In brief: Anabaptists (Greek ana+baptizo "re-baptizers", German: Wiedertäufer) are Christians of the the Protestant Reformation who believed that baptism was only appropriate for an adult believer. The term was coined by critics, who objected to the practice of performing baptism for adults whose previous baptism, as infants, the Anabaptists claimed was not valid.
