Amish Beliefs……What are your religious beliefs?
The Amish do believe in the Bible, God, & Jesus Christ as our Lord. They do believe that they need to live a different lifestyle than the rest of the world because they were born into that culture. They do not believe that the rest of the world is in sin and they don’t believe it is right to judge others but if you were born there you need to stay to have any chance of getting to heaven. For those that leave (like me) they believe we are lost to Hell forever.
The Amish believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, daily prayer, foot washing & communion in remembrance of Jesus Christ. Their religion is a Christian one. When I left the Amish and joined the Lutheran church, I realized that the core beliefs did not change at all. The difference is all the man-made rules the Amish feel they have to live by. They use information from the Bible to instill man-made beliefs to their children in hopes it will keep them from leaving…..ever.
I was encouraged to read the Bible but it was in High German which I can read but not understand too well. It is a well known fact….if an Amish person truly reads the Bible…..they will be leaving shortly.
I hope this is helpful…..
