What is the oldest form of protestantism?
Lutheranism, set up by Martin Luther in 1555 when he protested against the Roman Catholic church.
What are the main ideas of anabaptism?
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.
if you read Romans 8, it says that if the Holy Spirit abides in you, then He will make you sons of God. it is by the grace of God that Christ died for our sins. Christ gave Himself to set us free from sin.

A praedella is the panel (or panels) at the base of an altarpiece, same as predella. Often scenes from the life of Christ are depicted on the predella, or sometimes, as in Masaccio's Holy Trinity altarpiece, a skeleton intended to remind viewers of their mortality (called a "memento mori").
Praedella (Latin) is an ancient Roman form of platform, usually three steps in height. Upon the platform sat the Dias or throne of the Emperor. Now, like Basilica, we find praedellas in most Roman Catholic and other Christian churches. Often misnamed "the altar", the praedella is, rather, the platform upon which the altar of a church sits. The platform has spiritual significance for Catholics, in that, it represents the Apostolic tradition upon which the Catholic Church is founded or built.
Our Prophet Noble Drew Ali teaches The Moorish Americans are the descendants of the Ancient Moabites whom inhabited the Northwestern and Southwestern shores of Africa. So-called Negro, black, colored, African American are the Moors because those names were given to slave by slaveholders in 1779 and lasted until 1865 during the time of slavery but this is a new era of time now and all men now must proclaim their free national name to be recognized by the government in which they live and the nations of the earth.

Here people can earn a Bachelor, Master or a Doctor degree through off campus studies.
TRUE. But a crorrection.. IT IS NEITHER AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE NOR SEMINARY. The accrediting agency they list is bogus. If it is not accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, then it is not accredited as a seminary. It is a diploma mill and not an accredited institution. Why else have they changed their name three times, and list the lowest price on the internet for an education. If it sounds too good to be true, watch out.

What was the name of the group who broke away from the catholic church?
The Anglicans in Great Britain broke with the Catholic Church. Henry VIII had been unable to produce a male heir to the British throne with his wife Catherine of Aragon. He wanted to annul his marriage to her so he could marry another but the pope refuse to annul his original marriage. Henry then broke with Rome and formed the Church of England, naming himself as head of the Church in that country. He then, basically, granted himself a divorce and married a series of other women over the years, none of which produced a male offspring. He was, of course, excommunicated from the Catholic Church. A number of years of Catholic persecutions followed.

Is there any difference between ceremonies of the Catholics and protestants?
I'm not sure what your definition of ceremonies is, exactly. However, Catholics have many ceremonial rituals, while Protestants do not. Some protestants "choose" to follow some of the ceremonies of the Old Testament, such as Passover, but the death of Jesus, who is God, put an end to the rules and regulations of the Old Testament, which required such things as ceremonial cleansing, sacrifice, etc. A protestant Christian still lives by the ten commandments, but can simply talk to God, repent and ask for forgiveness, instead of sacrificing an animal as was done before Jesus came ... and as opposed to going to a priest for confession, as Catholics do.
Protestant Christianity is salvation by grace, not by works and following ceremonial rules. However, a Christian who truly believes and loves Jesus typically reveals their faith by serving God and others. So while "works" are not a requirement for salvation, they are typically a result of a truly repentant heart that is surrendered to the God they love and, therefore, want to share with the world.
Roman Catholic Answerextracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Catholic Rituals are based on the sacraments which are:
"sensible signs, instituted by Jesus Christ, by which invisible grace and inward sanctification are communicated to the soul." They are real means that effect what they symbolize (what they say is happening actually happens).
a ceremony is 1. a special form or set of acts to be done in public worship; 2. any external act, movement, or gesture accompanying the prayers and public exercises of divine worship.
To the extent that protestants have ceremonies, they are man made, not established by God, and do not effect what they symbolize.
