Three glaring evidences that the Munsterites and the followers of Melchior Hoffman were NOT truly "Anabaptists" as they are so labelled by ignorant historians:
1. They forced/tried to force all in Munster to be baptized.
2. They used violence to exert their influence over others.
3. They combined the authority of their "church" and that of the civil government.
NONE OF THESE THREE were practiced by the Defenceless Christians that later became known as Mennonites, Amish and Hutterites.
