 Definition: 
\An`a*bap"tist\, n. [LL. anabaptista, fr. Gr. as if
'anabaptisth`s: cf. F. anabaptiste.]
A name sometimes applied to a member of any sect holding that
rebaptism is necessary for those baptized in infancy.
Note: In church history, the name Anabaptists usually
      designates a sect of fanatics who greatly disturbed the
      peace of Germany, the Netherlands, etc., in the
      Reformation period. In more modern times the name has
      been applied to those who do not regard infant baptism
      as real and valid baptism.
