The Calvinist and the Anabaptist Can Be as One

The Baptist Church as an organized movement is often seen beginning in The English Dissenters and Puritans of The 16th Century. I would not deny this fact that the Baptists started as an outgrowth of The Puritans and The Dissenters. This is historical fact but there was groundwork laid by another group that group was The Anabaptists. This loose confederation of believers which makes up today's Amish, Mennonite, Brethren, and Hutterite communities. Sprung out of a small group of Bible believing Christians called The Swiss Brethren. Who rejected infant Baptism and among other things rejected the swearing of oaths and had a strenuous commitment to Non-Violence and Pacifism as shown in The Schleitheim Confession of 1527. Several of there leaders where martyred and persecuted for there beliefs among them are Felix Manz who was drowned to death under sentence of the Zürich council in 1526 along with Michael Sattler who was tortured and burnt at the stake by Roman Catholic authorities in 1527. I affirm these men as true followers of The Lord Jesus Christ and there teaching as nothing more then simple Biblical Christianity. With all that being said I am also a Five Point Calvinist and affirm all five points of The Tulip as Biblical Christian doctrine also. This blog will be nothing more then a simple collection of my thoughts, meditations, and ruminations on Doctrine the Doctrines of Grace and God's mercy, Majesty, and Glory. Along with thoughts on Scripture and the world at large from a Calvinistic and Anabaptist view point.
