Reformers

 The Anabaptist and the radical reformers contributed a significant impact to Christianity. They taught that baptism should come only after faith and confession. Infant baptism has no meaning at all. They believed that biblical truth should be held higher in authority than church traditions. Radical movements are not tied also to political and social commitments. This is really amazing. Their effort to stand on what they believe still contributed to what we believe.

I never knew about radicals before. But their influence was adapted by most churches nowadays. One thing I appreciated are the Anabaptist. Though I didn't know much of their other beliefs and practices, but their teaching of emphasizing Scripture as the highest authority is indeed a blessing. I know for sure that we never agree to all things that they are teaching for some of their contributions are negative and some are significantly positive ones. But I thank God since Christianity follow the right teaching and never tried to apply what they are teaching. I could see how God's mighty hand works despite all those challenges. He is really wise and He keeps on raising people who are never afraid to stand for what is right no matter what it cost. I am so grateful to God that His word has always been our light and guide as we walk in this dark world wherein many false teachings arise and if we are not really grounded by the truth of what the Scripture says, we will surely be led astray. Indeed, His word is true and it will always prevail though people would not believe it. It gives life, hope and peace to those who believe and obey what it says.

On the other hand, I learn to thank God also for Anabaptist as well as radicals for they also contributed little things to Christianity. God wants His people to love them as well and I believe God also cares for their souls to be saved. What they believe should never be an exemption for us Christians not to reach them out. They need to know the truth and on how to apply God's word correctly in their lives.
