The Amish originally were called Anabaptist's because they do not believe in baptising their children until they are old enough to decide for themselves whether they want to stay with the Amish church or go by the way of society. The Amish originally fashioned their life after Christ and as The Bible says; If those around you offend you and you are persecuted for your religious beliefs, step out and be different.

Also if you are interested in the persacution they endured read the book Martyrs Mirror! I must warn you though,It is very graphic as to how they were tortured! From the time of Christ until 1660.

I know this because my parents were both born & raised Old Order Amish!
