Noahide Baptists aka GodFearers Baptists or Noahide Alawites are 7th day Anabaptist Noahides historically known as Σοβιαΐ or Tsabis by the Abbasids, Paulicians by the Byzantines and Cathars by the Latins later as Picards and Taborites. They are related to the Manicheans who called them Tazigane (whence derives the Greek term Athiganoi). Like Manicheans, Noahide Baptists reject the Prince of the Air as the god of this Aeon but unlike Manicheans, Noahide Baptists still faithfully serve the Name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by keeping that part of the Sinai covenant which makes Hagerim out of the Erevrav.

Although modern Baptists have their origin in Anabaptism, most people calling themselves Baptists today are actually converts to Calvinism only deluding themselves that they are Baptists when in fact they are nothing but Calvinists. Nevertheless, Noahide Baptists act as counter missionaries protecting Perushim like Neturei Karta from conversion and denounce Messianic Hebrews who call themselves Jews when they are not.

Belief

Noahide Baptists are not guilty of Shittuf because they believe in the Logos Christology of Celestial Flesh (unlike Dyophysites who are guilty of Shittuf for believing in the deification of part of Mary's body through its union with Hashem's essence).

Practice

Havdalah is normally held on Sunday Mornings following a full Sabbath Day's rest on Saturdays during which Noahide Baptists will avoid Tumah.

In these respects, Noahide Baptist practice has not changed from the time of Hamlet Jackson who promoted the practices of Elizabethan Anabaptists known as the 7th Day Men.

Lineage

Noahide Baptist lineage can be traced back through 7th day Anabaptist Successionism all the way to the Ebionite "Sampsaean" community of Godfearers initiated by John the Baptist and descended from the first Messianic Noahite Magi. The Noahide Magi were Persians who had been introduced to the Sinai covenant for Erevrav by Daniel.

Noahide Baptists were the Sobiai (Σοβιαΐ) preached to by Elxai from whose community Mani emerged. They accepted only the 325CE version of the Nicene creed and Bible but separated immediately thereafter as the Donatists denouncing Constantine and have always been regarded as Hanpa by mainstream Constantinian Churches ever since.

Islamic and Alevi sources show that the early Alian Imams of the 610sCE were the same "Tsabi" Sobiai. In the 640s the Ahsana Al-Hadith were compiled into an epic performance intended to instruct the Messianic Noahide Deaconate of Baptists on everything they needed to know in order to serve as instructors to the believers. Sebeos called their country Tachkastan from the same root word that their Manichean relatives also called them, Tazigane, and under which name they escaped the Umayyads and migrated from Azerbaijani "Khazaria" into the Bulgar lands where they were known as the Paulicians. From them, the Central European Albigensians Arnoldists and Waldensian Lollards emerged as precursors to the Bohemian Anabaptists and 7th-Day Men like Hamlet Jackson continuing through Mill Yard's 7th Day "Arminian" (Ana)Baptists who under Stephen Mumford began to establish churches in America from 1664 and eventually from which Rachel (Harris) Oakes Preston (March 2, 1809 – February 1, 1868) inspired various Seventh Day Churches.

History

The Isaurian dynasty first invited the Sobiai to settle in the Balkans from whence they spread to Bohemia through the Moimirids and under the Magyars eventually reached the Waldensian Mountains as the Cathars. The Bohemian Waldenses turned into the Hussites from whom derived the Noahides of Zacharia and subsequent 7th day Anabaptists who influenced not only the Szombatoszok but also the Moldavian Messianic Hebrews and the Bezpopovtsi as well as the Armenian Karaylar Molokanes from whom the Karaimite Subbotniki emerged.

Ebionite Gnostics

Elhasai

Magarites

صابئين Seventh C. 609-629

Heavily influenced by Eliezer Ben Kallir.

Hanzala alKhalifa alKalbi sent his son the Severian Paul (Dihya ibn AlKhalifa) to Emperor Heraclius in the course of the war against Khosrau II (which he began about 619). They met in Theodosiopolis (Erzeroum) in Armenia (about 622). The Severian Monophysite Paul (the One Eyed), representing the Acephali, made a speech before him in favour of Monoenergism.

Hani ibn Qabisa

Alawaites

Alians

Paulicians

Severian Acephali named after Paul the One Eyed their 622 representative to Heraclius.

Khazar Edomean-Ishmaelites

Bogomils

Boghards

Waldenses

Mohammedan Christian Templars

Bohemian Brethren

Zakharia 1470-1491

Two priests, Dionysius and Alexis, convinced by Zacharias, and four Jews who had recently come from the South, spread the news of this doctrine broad, and arch-priest Gabriel was among the many who were converted. In 1491, Skhariya the Jew was executed in Novgorod by the order of Ivan III. In 1504, diak (secretary) Ivan-Volk Kuritsyn, Dmitry Konoplev and Ivan Maksimov were burnt at the stake. Other adherents were banished, imprisoned, or excommunicated. Feodor Kuritsyn's adherents' club ceased to exist.

7th Day Anabaptists

Seventh Day Men 1600

Hamlet Jackson 1614

Hamlet established the Mill Yard Seventh Day Anabaptist Church in 1617 which converted Theophilus Brabourne by 1628 and Henry Jesse by 1645. In 1650, Brabourne's pupil, James Ockford, published in London the book The Doctrine of the Fourth Commandment, Deformed by Popery, Reformed & Restored to its Primitive Purity. The work convinced a Baptist called Peter Chamberlen who led the first Baptist service at Millyard Church in 1651.

Stephen Mumford 1664

Stephen fled to the Americas establishing the Seventh Day Anabaptist Church in Newport which converted John Rogers & James Rogers Jr. in 1674.

Many Shabbatis fled the Ottomam Empire at this time due to the imprisonment of the Shabbati teacher Tsvi Ben Mordechai in 1666.

Rachel Harris 1809-1868

in 1844, Rachel Harris Oaks Preston, a Wesleyan 7th day Anabaptists was responsible for inadvertently kickstarting the Church of God 7th day and the Whiteist movements when she converted a Millerite Methodist minister Frederick Wheeler to Seventh Day Sabbatarianism.

GodFearers Baptists

Finally, from the same background Elder-deacons Vendyl Jones and Jay David Davis established an Hebrew Roots Anabaptist movement in 2003.

The GodFearers UNC, were of the Sabbatarian or 7th-Day General Baptist type preserving the honest and simple approach to scripture which is better known as Anabaptism in English whereby Calvin is identified as a Man of Lawlessness and rejected. Some of them were Rationalists.

The GodFearers UNC Messianic Noahide organization began as a 7th Day Anabaptist sect independent from Christianity being neither Protestants nor Catholics nor Byzantines but who had devoted themselves to the study of Noahide Judaism. Professor Vendyl Jones's' 'Noahide Umot' Church already had a tax exempt status ruling in 07/2003 and changed its name to High Council of Bnei NoaH in 2005 under ten Deacons, including Vendyl himself as well as Jack Saunders, Billy Jack Dial, James D. Long, Bud Gill, Larry Borntrager, Roger Grattan, Jacob Scharff, Andrew Overall and Adam Penrod.

However, concern over Rambamism and 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) as well as website issues led to the disintegration of the High Council of Bnei NoaH by September 2006 and the subsequent establishment of the independent GodFearers UNC inc. by those who remained faithful to Vendyl's original 'Noahide Umot' mission as the latest in a long line of Anabaptist Succession.

Professor Vendyl Jones, Deacon Billy Jack Dial, Deacon Larry Borntrager and Deacon Jack Saunders were some of the people chosen to sit on the nascent Sanhedrin's original "High Council" who became official advisers to the GodFearers UNC alongside Deacon Jay David Davis, Rev Kazik Libey[1] and Ben Abrahamson.
