Noahide Baptists

 Share 

Noahide Baptists aka Wikinoah Baptists or Noahide Alians or Messianic Noahides or Bosniak Baptists or Bulgarian Baptists 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 the rainbow covenant of peace as well as that part of the Sinai covenant which makes Hagerim out of the Erevrav.

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 Heathens by mainstream Constantinian Churches ever since.

Islamic and Alevi sources show that the early Alian Imams of the 610sCE were the same "צָבָא" 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 Azeri "Khazaria" into the Vulgar lands where they were known as the Paulicians. From them, the Bogomils, Cathars, Patarines, Albigensians, Arnoldists, Waldensians, 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 out of which the Noahide "Baptists" emerged who founded Wikinoah.

History

The Isaurian dynasty first invited the Paulician Sobiai to settle in the Balkans from whence they spread to Bosnia and Bohemia through the Moimirids and under the Magyars eventually reached the Waldensian Mountains as the Cathars. The Bohemian Cathars 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 and Karaylar Molokanes from whom the Karaimite Subbotniki emerged.

Noahide Baptist Chronology

Σεβεια & Σεβόμαι 1stC.

God-worshippers also known as Godfearers but biblically as Hagerim and Toshavim played a major role in 1st century Jewish life funding the establishment of many Synagogues. With the destruction of the temple in 70CE and exile of Jews from Jerusalem in 135CE they lost their status in Judaism and many became Messianic Noahides as a result.

The Messianic Noahides were given their Bible by Herod Ageippa II's Yavneh Sanhedrin in 86CE consisting of the Septuagint, the books of Maccabees and the 27 NT texts.

Sampsaeans

Ebionite Gnostics

Σοβιαΐ / Tsabis (صابئين) aka Paulician Alevis 7thC

7th century Sabians were Heavily influenced by Eliezer Ben Kallir.

Paulician Alevis are Severian Acephali named after the Severian Paul the One Eyed their 622 representative to Heraclius. Paulicians are the acephalous Severian Agnotae.

Ali aka Hani ibn Qabisa

Solomon the Pharisee

Emir 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 Paul (the One Eyed), representing the Acephali, made a speech before him in favour of Agnotae Monoenergism which Heraclius adopted as the foundation for his alliance.

Organa's nephew, the Onogundur lord Koubrat, a descendant of Vulgarios, was Baptised a Paulician Alevi by Patriarch Sergiis I of Constantinople.

In the 600s, before the Varchonite (Early Avar) Serbs would submit to Byzantium, the Middle Avar Velo or Belacarpats arrived to request the blessing of Heraclius to co quer them. At that time the earlier Varchonite Serbs had desolated the areas which are now Serbia and Croatia. So by the command of the emperor Heraclius these new Belacarpats defeated and expelled Alciocus from the areas of Croatia and Serbia, and according to the mandate of the Heraclian Imperial dynasty they took over the earlier Varchonite country. At that time Edu/Kubrat's Belacarpats had for a prince, Edu/Kubrat's uncle Organa the father of Porga. The Imperial Heraclians sent and brought priests from Rome, and made of them an archbishop and a bishop and elders and deacons, and baptized Vojvodina's Belacarpats as Miaphysites.

When Edu/Kubrat died, some Belacarpats revolted against the Severian Edu/Kubrat's rule and began to expand their influence with Porga as their prince. But after the death of Edu/Kubrat the Corosminis helped and took over Erdőelve in 677. Porga's Miaphysite Belacarpats of Vojvodina fled to Dalmatia under the leadership of Porga's son Croat but the main Miaphysite Belocarpat group stayed in Vojvodina.

680 The Alid Tazigan are eradicated by Yazid ibn Muawiya at the battle of Karbala. Their followers become known as Alawis, Alevis and Alians Khozroi of Shahrbanu (Jahānshāh) who settled among the miaphysites (Paulician Alevis) of Transcaucasian Albania to establish greater Azeria.

Bosniak Khályzmen (Arsiya) Gusari

So, although Noahide Baptists in Europe suffered badly following the establishment of Constantinianism they began to find support under Constantinople's Heraclian dynasty which favoured the Miaphysitism of the Paulician Alevis and in the end even established a such a close alliance with the early Khazars that the Heraclian Coemperor Tiberius I was half Khazar.

This relationship was strengthened by Constantinople's Isaurian dynasty which imported vast numbers of Paulicians into the Balkans to strengthen the Miaphysite Belocarpat Middle Avars and convert the Late Avar Corosmini (Arsiya Gusari) who had arrived from the eastern Kingdom of Bosen (烏孫). Their Judaic graves were found in Chelarevo. After the Isaurian Dynasty the Late Avar Paulicians found refuge under Bulgaria's Krum dynasty and became known as Bogomils. However, when the Krum dynasty established communion with the Byzantine Church in 927CE, the Paulician Bogomils fled to Bosnia from whence they spread throughout Europe especially in the Alps and Moravia to emerge as Anabaptists.

Despite Latin plans against them, Cathar ideas would survive in Moravia and among the Hungarians while the Polovtsi of Valachia and Moldavia would also be a source of Cathar influence on Europe for the next 4 centuries.

Magyar Conquests to the West of Etelkoza

1054 The Great Schism means that Roman Catholics begin to crack down on Sabbath keepers.

1057-1075 Cathar Patarenes reach Milan.

Having cracked down on Milan's Patarenes, the Roman Catholic Church established a Diocese of Bosnia between 1060 and 1075 to crack down on the Paulician Bosniaks. Nevertheless, in the 1100s, Bosniak Cathar ideas spread far and wide.

1119-1312 Mohammedan Christian Templars

1143 Catharism can be clearly identified in Cologne.

1180s John Kinnamos describes the the Bosnian Cozlones as practising Mosaic law while other sources call them Meshulam.

1185–1396 the Paulician Alevi Asen dynasty establish the Second Bulgarian Empire.

Bohemian Brethren 1310

The Dominican Bernard Gui, Inquisitor of Toulouse from 1308 to 1323, published a manual detailing how to dispose of Cathars.

In Bohemia, as much as one quarter of the population kept seventh-day the sabbath in 1310.

By 1350, all known remnants of the movement had been extinguished in Octania. Many Occitan courts had been patrons of the troubadours, and their destruction resulted in the gradual deterioration of troubadour practice and the immigration of most troubadours from Southern France to royal courts in Italy, Spain and Hungary.

The Bohemian reformation was also inspired by the ideas of Conrad Waldhauser d.1369 and Johann Milíč of Kroměříž d.1374 as well as the Lollard theologian and philosopher John Wycliffe 1328-1384.

Matthew of Kraków 1335-1410

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.

Shabbatians & Anabaptists

By the 1500s 7th day Anabaptists were firmly established.

Hamlet Jackson 1614

Hamlet Jackson 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.

Jacobus Arminius 1560–1609

John Wesley 1735-1739

John Wesley was an Anglican convert to Moravian Anabaptism in 1735 which he left to establish Methodism in late 1739 having decided that Moravians were guilty of a heresy in what he called "quietism". Nevertheless, he continued to promote self-discipline as an essential element in self-reformation.

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.

Messianic Shabbati Hebrews

The Subbotniki were a peaceful group of mainly Russian and East European Messianic Kibbutzniks who identified as Judaic rather than Hebrew or if as Hebrews (Evrei) then certainly not as Jews (Zhidi). They began to emerge in Greater Moldavia and due to pogrims began to emigrate to South Syria in the 1800s.Their independence was compromised by organizations like Irgun in 1940s.

The Wikinoah Fire

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

The Wikinoah 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 Wikinoah 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 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 Wikinoah 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 Wikinoah UNC alongside Deacon Jay David Davis, Rev Kazik Libey and Ben Abrahamson.
