Gnostic Baptists (Sobiai) refers to various sects of Baptizers who adopted Kabbalah (Jewish Theology) and devoted themselves to Bina. Gnostic Baptists were most common in the Persian Empire and Mesopotamian Arabia which the Roman Church described as haeresium ferax, the “bearer” (or “mother”) of heresies. The phrase Arabi Mubeen itself refers to Devotees of Bina. The Islamic Quran seems to have been drawn from Gnostic Baptist materials written in the tongue of devotees to Gnosis. Gnostics are derogatorily called Apostates or Heathens or Heretics by other Christians being Hanifa or Hanpa (corrupt) in Semitic languages because of their adherence to Kabbalah (Jewish Theology).
The Koine Greek word "Gnosis" refers to the Jewish Theological concept of "Bina" as a kind of spiritual knowledge usually referred to as "Understanding" and is used by Gnostic Baptists to refer to the light which shines in creation from Bina. The concept entered Roman Christianity as "Sophia".
