The Quakers, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, have a unique approach to baptism that differs from other Christian denominations. Quakers do not practice physical baptisms because they believe that baptism is a spiritual experience that can happen at any time and in any place. This belief stems from the Quaker emphasis on the inner light, or the idea that God speaks to individuals directly, rather than through priests or sacraments.

Quakers historically rejected many outward forms and ceremonies, including baptism and communion, as they believed these practices were not necessary for salvation. Instead, they focused on living a simple, ethical life in line with their beliefs and values. Today, many Quakers continue to embrace this spiritual approach to baptism and reject the need for physical sacraments.
