In the Catholic tradition, children of Catholics are baptized as Christians while infants. This is a ceremony akin to, but different from, Jews circumcising baby boys in a ceremony to make the boy a Jew.
During the Reformation, some Christians started reading the Bible for themselves and came to a conclusion that most Protestants today follow--baptism is something a person does when deciding to accept Jesus. If a person was baptized as a child, but then decides as an adult, then the adult baptism is a personal and public show of his or her acceptance of the Christian message. This is being baptized again, a second time. That is what the term anabaptist means, baptized again.

We were around BEFORE that gangster Constantine turned True Christianity in to a business and political entity.
Anabaptist's never heard of the Roman Cult until many years after it began. They had to hunt down and kill thousands of us. We would not bow to a poop or pray to Mary.
The modern Baptists are similar to Anabaptist's to a very small degree.
The important thing to remember is that True Anabaptist's are not Protestants -they didn't need to protest and leave the RC Cult - Ana baptists never were part in the first place.
