A movement that began in Switzerland in the 1520's that emphasized the necessity of the baptism of adult believers and opposed infant baptism. Church groups today that trace their roots back to the original Anabaptist movement include Mennonites and the Amish.

Anabaptism in the Netherlands was rejuvenated by?

Actually the divisions in the Anabaptists ended in 1619 when a new Baptist movement came about. The Amish, Mennonites, and all other Anabaptist groups that would be established had been established. At that point the Anabaptist movement was complete. In 1609 Jacob Arminius in the Netherlands completed his study and Arminianism broke off from Calvinism. A group of Anabaptists became Arminian Baptists. They are known as Free Will Baptists. As they are Arminian in Doctrine, their doctrines are closer to those of Methodists than they are to other Baptists. They are much more open to outsiders than are Anabaptists.
