Anabaptism is a monotheistic Christian movement that upholds belief in one God.
E. L. McDowell has written: 'Factors common to anabaptism and methodism'
A person who rejects infant baptism and believes in adult baptism through immersion could be practicing Anabaptism. Anabaptists typically emphasize nonviolence, separation of church and state, and voluntary church membership.
Charles Thomas Eby has written: 'Social aspects of anabaptism in the archbishopric of Cologne, 1550-1700'
One notable Christian reformer who supported Anabaptism was Ulrich Zwingli. Initially aligned with the Reformation in Switzerland, Zwingli's views evolved to include some Anabaptist principles, particularly regarding adult baptism. However, his support was limited, and he ultimately opposed the Anabaptists, leading to tensions between their movements. Despite this, his early interactions contributed to the broader discourse on baptism and church reform during the Reformation era.
One obvious religious belief would come from the name Anabaptist itself. Which means to Baptize again. Anabaptist did not believe in infant water baptism but in believer water baptism. They hold that baptism is an act of obedience to Christ on the part of the believer and not an act of obedience to Christ on the part of the parents. So they practiced believer water baptism, to their own peril, at the time of the early reformation (1500's) when infant water baptism was widely held and practiced as a sacrament of the church. Withholding baptism from your infant children was a grave mortal sin on par with condemning your children to Hell should they die before being baptized. Anabaptism is still held today by members of the various Baptist and Mennonite churches. Anabaptism has come to mean more the practice of believer water baptism.

Anabaptist was one of the names commonly associated with Baptists. It was not started in 1525. John the Baptist was baptising people prior to the birth of Jesus Christ. iIn fact,he baptised Jesus himself. After his baptism Jesus declared that "Upon this rock I shal build my church" and went on to preach for 33 years before being tortured and executed for claiming to be the Son of God.
The Hutterites, a communal religious group with roots in Anabaptism, are known more for their agricultural practices and communal living than for specific inventions. However, they have contributed to agricultural innovations, particularly in sustainable farming techniques and efficient use of resources. Their practices often emphasize cooperation and efficiency, which can lead to advancements in farming equipment and methods, but they do not typically focus on inventing in the conventional sense.
