which christian denomination grew out of the christian anabaptist movement
Anabaptism The early Anabaptists formulated their beliefs in the Schleitheim Confession, in 1527.[6][7] Anabaptists believe that baptism is valid only when the candidate confesses his or her faith in Christ and wants to be baptized. This believer's baptism is opposed to baptism of infants, who are not able to make a conscious decision to be baptized. Anabaptists are those who are in a traditional line with the early Anabaptists of the 16th century. Other Christian groups with different roots also practice believer's baptism, such as Baptists, but these groups are not seen as Anabaptist. The Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites are direct descendants of the early Anabaptist movement. Schwarzenau Brethren, Bruderhof, and the Apostolic Christian Church are considered later developments among the Anabaptists.
Victorian morality Religious morality changed drastically during the Victorian Era. When Victoria took the throne the Anglican Church was very powerfulâ€”running schools and universities, and with high ranking churchmen holding offices in the House of Lords.[6] The Church's power continued to rule in rural areas throughout the Victorian Era; however that was not the case in industrialised cities.[6] In the cities those against the Church were many and dissent was rampant.[6] However, dissent has been running its pressure since the onset of Puritanism in politics even before the Oliver Cromwell days. The dissenting sects were against what the Anglican church was using its power for.[7] The Church demanded obedience to God, submissiveness and resignation with the goal of making people more malleable to the will of the Church.[7] The Church was accused of appeasing the will of the elite, and of caring little if at all about the needs and wants of the lower, peasant class,[7] from which dissent emerged Methodism, Congregationalism, The Society of Friends (Quakers) and Presbyterianism.[7] The Methodists and Presbyterians in particular stressed personal salvation through direct individual faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection on the behalf of sinners, citing the New Testament Gospels and the writings of the Apostles Peter, James and Paul.[7] This stress on individualism is seen throughout the Victorian Era and becomes even more developed in middle class life.
