The Anabaptists are Christians of the Radical Reformation . Several congregations at different times in history have been labeled Anabaptist, but the title is used most commonly when referring to the Anabaptists of 16th century Europe. Today, the more typical groups referred to as Anabaptist are the Amish, Hutterites, Mennonites, Puritans, Quakers, and Baptists, to name several. Anabaptists believed that infant baptism was not valid. Therefore, they believed in the practice of rebaptizing adults that had been previously baptized. They maintained that an infant that has been baptized has not had a "believer's baptism". That is, as infants, we have no choice to be baptized or not; as adults, we are free to choose to believe.
