HaGarim HaManichayim (the Manichean Proselytes) were a Messianic-Noahite movement established by an Ishmaelite-Sadducee called Ibn Abi Kabsha in a 7thC.CE Sassanian realm of Manicheans (Hanifs).
Background
Ibn Abi Kabsha tried to establish unity between those who kept the Laws of Moses and those who accepted the 1stC. Romaniote Rabbi Jesus as Messiah. However, the Sassanian Manicheans (Hanifs) were not impressed by him because he respected the Old Testament while the Ishmaelite-Sadducees were not impressed by him because he accepted Jesus as Messiah. When people first heard his ideas they used to say that he had become a Tsabi -a type of Persian Messianic Hebrew later described in Islam as part way between Adoptionists, Persians and Jews and from which Manicheism itself had originally emerged. His ideas were preserved by his friends Abu Turab and Salman of Fars.
The Quranic Materials
In time his ideas were adopted by a Sadducee warlord called Emir Ambrus in his old age who together with Abu Turab and Salman of Fars devised some religious materials for the Manichean Proselytes. These materials were assembled into a religious Tome by the next ruler, a Manichean Proselyte called Emir Tashik.
Christology
The Manichean-Proselyte Christology was Tripartite, Themistian-Monophysitism. believing that the 1stC. Romaniote Rabbi Iesous was a manifestation of Abraham's Visitors the Messianic Archangelic Metatron/Mithra emanation of the divine albeit constrained to live as a human being in every conceivable way.
