Quick student answer
What was a key feature of Anabaptism during the Radical Reformation?
Direct answer
Anabaptists believed that baptism should only be performed on individuals who could consciously affirm their faith, thus rejecting infant baptism.
Key terms
- Theocracy: A system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god, often associated with radical religious movements.
- Persecution: The systematic mistreatment of an individual or group, often due to their religious beliefs, which was common against Anabaptists following the Münster Rebellion.
Common trap
Confusing Anabaptism with other Protestant movements: Focus on the unique aspects of Anabaptism, such as adult baptism and separation from state control, to differentiate it from other Protestant groups.
