Anabaptists believe that a person can only be Baptized upon valid confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus they do not Baptize infants and so have this in common with what the Baptists teach. The word anabaptist is really a derogatory label (meaning to Baptize again) given them by their opponents who believed in infant Baptism such as the Roman Catholics and Lutherans and so they were seen as applying a second Baptism as most of their followers (except a few that grew up as such) would have been Baptized as babies. I would say that the above answer is true, as baptists come from anabaptists, who baptized the christened, though we, as baptists, are only baptized once, as the catholic christening is not as popular as it was in the old days.

Anabaptists do not believe in baptizing infants. They believe a person should be old enough to declare their faith before being baptized
