The Anabaptists rejected infant baptism and state coercion

Evidence

The Anabaptist movement. Beginning in approximately 1525 in Zurich (with the Conrad Grebel-Felix Manz circle that opposed Zwingli’s mainstream Reformation program) and spreading rapidly across Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Moravia, the Anabaptist movement substantively opposed several specific dimensions of mainstream Reformation theology. The Anabaptists rejected infant baptism (insisting on adult-believer baptism only), substantively constrained the use of state-coercive force in Christian community (with substantial pacifist commitments), and articulated household-theological positions that operated against the dominant paternal-authority framework of Lutheran-Reformed Christianity. — , The Rod and the Child, 2919
