'''Baptisti''' ni [[neno]] linalotumika pengine kuelezea kinachohusika na [[mapokeo]] maalumu ndani ya [[Ukristo]] wa [[Uprotestanti|Kiprotestanti]] na hasa kutajia mali au makanisa ya Wabaptisti au [[madhehebu]] ya Kibaptisti, ambayo ni kati ya yale yenye waumini wengi zaidi duniani. Wanakadiriwa kuwa milioni 110 katika jumuia 220,000.

Mapokeo hayo yamechukua jina lake kutokana na mkazo juu ya [[imani]] ya wafuasi wa [[Yesu Kristo]] kwamba wanapaswa kuzamishwa ndani ya [[maji]] mengi ili kuonyesha imani yao. 

Kwa sababu hiyo Wabaptisti hawana [[desturi]] ya kutoa [[ubatizo]] kwa [[Mtoto|watoto]] wachanga.

Mbali ya msimamo huo, Wabaptisti wanatofautiana sana katika [[teolojia]] na miundo yao.

== Historia ==
Msimamo wa Kibaptisti ulijitokeza kwanza [[Uswisi]] katika [[karne ya 16]], lakini ulipata nguvu zaidi [[Uingereza]] katika [[karne ya 17]].

Huko [[Marekani]] mwaka [[1639]] [[Roger Williams]] alianzisha kanisa la Kibaptisti mjini [[Providence, Rhode Island]] na [[John Clarke]] alianzisha kanisa la Kibaptisti mjini [[Newport, Rhode Island]]. Haieleweki vyema kanisa gani kati ya hayo lilifunguliwa kwanza. Kumbukumbu za makanisa yote mawili zimepotea.<ref>Brackney, William H. (Baylor University, Texas). ''Baptists in North America: an historical perspective.'' Blackwell Publishing, 2006, p. 23. ISBN 1-4051-1865-2</ref>

Mbali na Marekani na [[Ulaya]], siku hizi kuna Wabaptisti wengi hasa [[Nigeria]] (milioni 2.5), [[India]] (milioni 2.4), [[Congo]] (DRC) (milioni 1.9) na [[Brazil]] (milioni 1.7).
