Anti-Baptists

Anti-Baptists are groups or individuals who oppose the practice of baptism, particularly infant baptism, as performed by mainstream Christian denominations like Catholics and Protestants. They typically advocate for believers’ baptism—only baptizing individuals who personally confess faith. Historically, Anti-Baptists have opposed certain church doctrines and practices, emphasizing a direct personal commitment to faith and often rejecting church authority or traditions associated with infant baptism. Their stance led to various religious movements and communities that distinguish themselves by their beliefs about the proper method and meaning of baptism, emphasizing individual choice and conscious commitment.
