Looking positively at Anabaptism, instead of negatively

I don't mean thinking favorably about it; ultimately, what a person believes is between him and God, and I don't expect people to do as I do anyway. What I am saying is that nobody should be defined by what they don't believe, rather than what they do believe. And that includes Anabaptists.

For example, Anabaptists are not people who refuse to bear arms. We're people who trust God to protect us. We're not people who don't take oaths, but people who try to be so honest we don't need to.

Anabaptism isn't about not doing things; it's about doing the right things. It's about obedience out of gratitude to Jesus Christ for saving my soul. There's nothing negative in that.
