Anabaptists were considered radical primarily because of their rejection of infant baptism, advocating instead for believer's baptism, which they believed should only be administered to those who could consciously choose faith. They also emphasized a separation from state influence in religious matters, promoting a voluntary church community based on personal conviction rather than societal or familial ties. Their commitment to pacifism and nonviolence further set them apart from mainstream Protestant and Catholic practices of the time, leading to persecution and their classification as radicals.
