mennonites believe that what really matters is being sensitive and responsive to the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life.

when someone shows evidence of this (of they are 13 or older) they are baptized.

but the spiritual state comes first, and the baptism is only a recognition of it.

That's pretty much how it is in my church. ^^

Non-denominational, but Baptist's have an influence on our beliefs, I think.

seeing as i am not a member of any religion, per say, the answer is no. however, i do personally like the idea of Baptisms, if voluntary. i myself have been baptized as a christian, though it was a mistake. and i intend to eventually have a more personal baptization in honour of my gods and the spirits at some point.
