Thanks.I'll pass this along. We have a coordinator but no teacher in our group of 6. We are teaching ourselves. I did learn that the name Baptist was started as derogatory and for ridicule but the "church of Christ" thought it was cool and adopted it. Sounds like there were liberals and freepers even way back then:')

"Ana-baptist" means "re-baptiser." That is, people who were baptised just fine when they were babies would get baptised "again" when they joined the Baptist sect. Of course, they considered the infant baptism as invalid.
