Anabaptist church practises today not found in the early church

Post by Sudsy »

What are some Anabaptist practises today that are not explicitly found in the early church as recorded in the New Testament, excluding The Revelation.

I will begin with one that some Anabaptists practise but is not explicitly found and that is the use of musical instruments in worship.

The list is probably endless

Dedicated church buildings
Church membership rolls (apart from simply being baptized)
Sunday school
Hymns and hymnals
Bibles
etc.

How convenient to exclude the Revelation, since that's where musical instruments are mentioned. 8-)
