Glimpses of world Religions
Subsequently, Thenafter for few decades martyrs were subjected to the death punishment by way of Drowning, Poisoning, throwing them alive to flames or killing them with sword edge. Despite all these, the trend of Neo Baptism did not reduce, on the contrary, it was on rise. These REBAPTISTS were of The Belief that the super power of Christianity are not the Authorities of Church but BIBLE, and these Authorities have no right to interpret BIBLE Arbitrarily.
Even after violent attack of conservative Christians, reformers did not budged even an inch from their bonafied belief. They continued their protest with all their love & calmness. During the period from 1635 AD to 1645 AD, there was excessive increase of torture on them at Switzerland. Hence a group of REBAPTISTS migrated from Switzerland to “ALSAKE” region of France, and settled there. With passage of time, there was some sort of difference of opinion among two groups of REBAPTISTS, Those who migrated to France and settled there and the one who continued to stay at Switzerland. Thus, it resulted in two sections forming separation.
Those REBAPTISTS, who shifted to France and settled there, were under the leadership of one Mr. JACOB AMMANN and hence they were known as “AMEESH” and the others who continued to stay at Switzerland as REBAPTISTS were identified as “MONANITES”. There is no major difference between these two groups of REBAPTISTS. MONONITES nationals, as compared to “AAMEESH” nationals, are to an extent more reformist.
Both these nationals were subjected to immense torture of high degree. Ultimately, they were left with no alternative but to leave their motherland just to retain their BAPTIST tradition. Both these nationals have settled in America. Shifting from Europe.
