Baptists trace their lineage through Baptist Succeasionism back to the community initiated by John the Baptist.

The GodFearers UNC

There was a Baptist Church which had a tax exempt status ruling in 07/2003 and changed the name of the church to High Council of Bnei NoaH in 2005 under Ten Nagidim (Pastors) (Professor Vendyl Jones, Jack Saunders, Billy Jack Dial, James D. Long, Bud Gill, Larry Borntrager, Roger Grattan, Jacob Scharff, Andrew Overall and Adam Penrod).

However, concern over involvement with Kahanists (a designated terrorist group in Israel) among certain members of the Nascent Sanhedrin Project (which the High Council of Bnei NoaH was responsible to) led to the disintegration of the High Council of Bnei NoaH by September 2006 and the subsequent establishment of the independent GodFearers UNC by those who remained faithful to the original Baptist mission as the latest in the line of Baptist Succession.

Mr. Roger Grattan, of the Bnei Noah living in Bangor, Maine, was one of the people chosen to sit on the nascent Sanhedrin's original "High Council" who became an official adviser to the GodFearers UNC alongside Professor Vendyl Jones, Billy Jack Dial, Jack Saunders, James Long, Kazik Libey and Ben Abrahamson.
