Beards
While it is not uncommon to see an older Amish man with a long beard, mustaches are not. Mustaches are frowned upon, but beards are permitted due to the prevalence of beards in the Bible. As a result, it is not uncommon to see an Amish man with a thick beard.

Believer’s Baptism
“Believer’s baptism,” which is essentially a baptism for adults, is an Amish tradition. The baptism of a believer is occasionally referred to as adult baptism due to the belief that faith does not emerge until the age of accountability. When a child reaches the age of earnest confession, he or she is frequently baptized as a believer. This belief developed as a result of the Anabaptist Christian movement.
