Mahmad's Baptists did not come into focus until an influential person (probably) Iyyas ibn Qabisa of Tayyaye, who was Khosrow II's Nestorian Client in AlHira over the Lakhmid joined their movement as a Mursal being a Nabi of the Rasul (EucharistHitveadut). This leader was married to a Nestorian called Khadijah by her cousin a Nestorian Priest called Waraqah. As leader in Al-Hira over the Lakhmid he could have been called Melkhamed. By the time Sebeos had heard of him many Arabs had already begun to promote him as their Messiah and changed his title from Melkhamed to Mohamed. But to do so they had to diminish the importance of the Christian Messiah and in doing so a new religion was born.
