Talk:Schleitheim Confession

"The Schleitheim Confession was endorsed unanimously by a meeting of Swiss Amabaptists in 1527 in Schleitheim, Switzerland. "

This doesn't answer the most basic question of all: What was it? --mav

I've added in the 7 articles of the confession. Perhaps a short description of each could be added too... --Colemanyee 03:03, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Can someone put the actual text of the document in the article? This is the longstandingest, stubbiest article I've ever seen.  :)

No such thing as "regeneration" in Anabaptism

The Confession itself does not make any use of the term regeneration and so it should not be used in this article on it. The focus is on discipleship "Baptism shall be given to all those who have been taught repentance", outward demonstration of following Christ "the amendment of life" and profession of faith "and [who] believe truly that their sins are taken away through Christ" or to those who profess that they want to be disciple, "to all those who desire to walk in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and be buried with Him in death". While today there is a requirement for a profession of faith, which would be closer to regeneration, but still not quite that term. This understanding does not fall into any traditional Western faith tradition instead focusing on Harold Bender would call Nachfolge and most closely called discipleship in English.
