The Amish are a very conservative Christian faith groups, with an Anabaptist tradition. Many of their beliefs are identical to those of many Fundamentalist and other Evangelical churches, including:
1. Adult baptism is done after one makes a commitment to the church.
2. Belief in the Trinity, the virgin birth, incarnation, sinless life, crucifixion, resurrection ascension, and atonement of Jesus Christ.
3. One lives on after death, either eternal rewarded in Heaven or punished in Hell.
4. Salvation is a gift from God, through unmerited grace.
5. The Bible's authors were inspired by God. Their writings are inerrant.The Bible is generally to be interpreted literally.
6. Satan exists as a living entity.
7. Etc.
Another movie i decided to keep is Amish Grace...here you will get to know them more. They have beliefs that i can say nice to learn and there is also a part that i don't approve.Well, it's based on my opinion...your opinion is different from mine of course. Wait for the part when Ida Graber is having a conversation with her husband about her sister whom they have shunned from the community. Anyway, the real score here is the importance of forgiveness. Rating? ummm lets say 7, not bad huh.
Amish Grace a story of forgiveness....
When a group of Amish schoolgirls are taken hostage and killed in their classroom, their parents and the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, stun the outside world by immediately forgiving the killer. Ida Graber (Kimberly Williams-Paisley), mother of one of the murdered children, has a tougher time than the others accepting the tragedy, but in her anguish and pain, she begins a personal journey of renewed faith, ultimately accepting the heart-wrenching tragedy of losing a child; reconnecting with her husband (Matt Letscher), family, and community; offering forgiveness to the killer; and even showing kindness and compassion to the killer’s widow (Tammy Blanchard )) and children – all in the form of Amish Grace
