you do realize that the Baptists do not come from the Anabaptist movement, right?

Modern Anabaptists originated in the 16th century as a group known as the Swiss Brethren. They rejected infant baptism and promoted a belief in pacifism. Pacifism is a central tenant of their faith. They do not accept the Baptist doctrine of justification by faith alone but rather a belief in a “living faith” of good works and discipleship. The most traditional descendants include the Amish and Mennonites. Their view of the Bible includes the belief that the New Testament supersedes the Old Testament. They believe in a separation from the world which is why Old Order Amish reject having electricity in their homes.

Baptists originated as an offshoot of Puritanism. While they too reject infant baptism, they do not share in the belief of pacifism
