Ăn'a-bäp'tist, n.

n. [L. Lat. anabaptista, Gr. as if ἀναβαπτιστής.] (Eccl. Hist.) One who denies the validity of infant baptism, and who of course maintains that those who have been baptized in their infancy ought to be baptized again. With these sentiments is generally united the belief that baptism ought always to be performed by immersion.
