The Anabaptists called for a return to the practices and beliefs of early Christianity, emphasizing adult baptism, voluntary church membership, and a clear separation between church and state. They advocated for a lifestyle of pacifism, communal living, and mutual aid, rejecting the use of force in matters of faith. Anabaptists also sought to restore what they viewed as the true teachings of Jesus, prioritizing personal faith and moral integrity. Their radical approach to reform influenced many subsequent Christian movements.

The Anabaptist movement is often associated with figures like Menno Simons, a Dutch religious leader who played a crucial role in shaping Anabaptist beliefs in the 16th century. Anabaptists advocated for adult baptism, separation of church and state, and a life of discipleship, distinguishing themselves from other Protestant groups. Menno Simons' teachings and writings helped unify various Anabaptist factions and laid the foundation for the Mennonite tradition.
