14. The Anabaptist
(1) History
1) In the early years of the reform, Zwingli worked hand in hand with a group of radicals, Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz and others. But Zwingli himself opposed infant baptism for a time - but drew back when he realized that it is essential if a state church is to be maintained. As the result of this, in 1525, after a public disputation with Zwingli, they began to rebaptize believers.
2) The city council responded by ordering the exile of all those rebaptized, the death penalty was introduced for rebaptizing, and in January 1527 Flex Manz was executed by downing.
(2) Definition
1) A religious group which appeared in Germany and other countries of Europe.
2) As an aftermath of the Lutheran Reformation.
3) But which was not an essential part of it.
(3) Motifs: As the reactions against the Lutheran
1) The fact that Luther shook the foundation of the political and ecclesiastical order in Germany made this movement possible.
2) The seeds of economic and political revolt had been well planted in German mind.
3) Only an upheaval of major proportions was needed to bring them to life.
4) The Anabaptist revolt, while essentially religious in nature, combined religious with social, economic, and political radicalism.
(4) Term: The opposition to the baptist
1) The term itself designates the opposition of this group to the prevailing practice among the Lutherans and Roman Catholics of infant baptism and their own insistence upon adult immersion.
2) Repudiating both Roman Catholic and the Lutheran conception of the church and its government, the movement represented a distinct break in the church as an historic organism.
(5) Origins: Ritschl and others
1) Ritschl found its origin in the Spiritual Franciscans of the later Middle Age.
2) Other scholars have felt that it can be traced back to the Waldensian movement.
3) The Anabaptists were not s coherent group and represented various degrees of orthodoxy, ranging from the evangelical position of Conrad Grebel (1498-1528), to the much more radical thought of Balthasar Huebmaier (1485-1528), and Hans Denk (d. 1527).
(6) Their Positions: Theological foundations
1) Their common denominator was their insistence on the necessity of adult baptism.
2) The more radical element stressed the importance of the inner word rather than the external word of the Scriptures.
3) Denying such doctrines as the total depravity of man, original sin, election, and eternal damnation,
4) They held that man possesses freedom of the will, and
5) man is capable of a direct and mystic communion with God.
(7) Their Schools: Huebmanier, Denk Meno, and simons.
1) Huebmanier and Denk preached a moderate communism along with a radical chiliasm, which brought upon them persecution by both the Roman Catholics and the Lutherans.
2) Meno Simons became the leader of the Anabaptists after 1536 and brought them into the evangelical tradition of the Reformers.
