The Papists
The Anabaptists
The Calvinists
The Lutherans
Answer
The Anabaptists were a group of Protestant Christians who believed in adult baptism. They were persecuted by both the Catholic Church and the Protestant reformers, including Huldrych Zwingli. Zwingli believed that infant baptism was the only valid form of baptism and that the Anabaptists were heretics. He preached against them and encouraged the Swiss authorities to persecute them. Many Anabaptists were executed, imprisoned, or forced to flee from Switzerland.
