[edit] Some Notes
The German Baptists have roots in Anabaptist theology and practice, generally speaking. German Baptists are not to be confused with Primitive, Separate, Southern, Particular, and all other mainline Baptists who, although generally unified on rudimentary doctrines such as baptism, would have conflicting views in other areas, such as non-resistance, etc. In addition, German Baptists are not to be confused with a recent, small, disjointed, renewal movement of "Plain," "Covered" Baptists, who, for all intents and purposes, have comparable beliefs and practice of the historic German Baptists for the most part (albeit in wide variance), but have different origins. Also, the German Baptists are not to be confused with various other similar denominations such as the Plymouth Brethren and their respective variants, and the Stone-Campbell Movement.
