Re: Preparation for Baptism
German Baptists might have a belief in baptismal regeneration but in my experience are quite “Anabaptist” in their approach to it, and a sizeable fraction believe in universal salvation anyway. This is interesting! I'm certainly curious to know if you've actually talked to more than perhaps 10 or 1...

Re: Preparation for Baptism
Similar to Steve above, our Brethren groups have typically been a bit more "organic" (for lack of a better word) than most contemporary Anabaptist groups, and we simply encourage folks to attend for awhile before baptism and ask questions, engage the congregation, learn from the preaching ...

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology
The theory that Anabaptism had many origins, and is in fact ancient, tracing perhaps to the apostles. Books like Brodbent's "The Pilgrim Church" and Kennedy's "Torch of the Testimony" give this theory. It is more recent. The other predominant theory is that Anabaptism if of Zuri...

Re: (Part 2) Spring 2024: Tell us about your church!
Hey! Unlike Part 1, I can check more than one box on this one, lol! We bought a building with a stage inside and a steeple attached, but we've removed the steeple and the stage is coming out during our remodel/expansion over the next year... Our windows get enough streaks from the children without n...

Re: Baptismal Formula
What is amazing to me is how scriptures are used (more specifically the one I pointed to in John 19:30) when determining a 'mode'. It doesn't surprise me that scriptures are used but rather which scriptures are used and how . I can say the same about the scriptures used to support Calvinism and non...

Re: Baptismal Formula
It is truly amazing to me how scriptures are used to support all these varying practices for water baptism. Sudsy, why does this surprise you? Wouldn't it make sense that, IF there is indeed a right "mode" of water baptism, that it would be found/justified in the Scriptures, of all places...

Re: Questions for Anabaptists: Theologically Conservative or Evangelical
How does your church address the symbols of headship order, including men uncovering their heads during worship gatherings, but more likely addressing the practice of women covering their heads during worship gatherings? Some examples: A) Discipline - Our church holds to the traditional headship or...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
Wait, which part is unbiblical? The Eucharist as a sacrifice or that you cannot have Mass (service?) without communion. I would assume you mean the former, but I'm curious as to why you and other Mennonites would view it that way. Would you care to elaborate? Judas can elaborate if he meant somethi...
