Beards
Although an older Amish man with a long beard is not uncommon, mustaches are not. Mustaches are frowned upon, but beards are permitted because men in the Bible wore beards frequently. As a result, seeing an Amish man with a thick beard is not unusual.
Believer’s Baptism
“Believer’s baptism,” which is basically a baptism for those reaching adulthood, is a traditional Amish procedure. A believer’s baptism is sometimes referred to as adult baptism because it is believed that faith does not emerge until the age of accountability. When a child is old enough to confess their faith earnestly, they are frequently baptized as believers. This belief arose from the Christian movement of Anabaptism.
