Revisiting the Anabaptists

Here is an article from Dr. C. Matthew McMahon regarding the group known historically as 'Anabaptists'. It can be seen that the Anabaptists are a schismatic group at that time, rebelling against authority and thinking that they alone are the true church. Of course, it didn't help that at least some of them deny Sola Scriptura and believed in their own dreams and visions rather than the Scriptures.

Anyway, do read the arguments that the Anabaptists tried to use to prove some of their points, and noticed how they are countered. Such arguments are still used nowadays and truly 'there is nothing new under the sun' (Ecc. 1:9). As an aside, there is nothing good about the Anabaptists, so even if you are a baptist, you should disown such schismatics at best (and heretics as worst) as your forefathers in the faith.

Terrible article from a person with a hangup about his titles.

Before you make unqualified statements, read and study from proper sources. Try Estep's The Anabaptist Story.
