Hanputa, meaning reorientation/turning/heresy ^[1] is the path that Abraham's Great Grandfather Serug created better known as Henosis or Theurgy ^[2]. Hence Abraham was known as Hanifan (being descended from an Hanif) prior to his circumcision. Abraham corrected Hanputa to Noahism a Rabbinical term referring to the concept of Judaism for HaToshavim and HaGerim ^[3] i.e. the religion of The Ancient Just ^[4] which Baptists follow as the way of the proselyte which starts with 7 and ends in 613 mitzvot. Church fathers tended to refer to the religion of any independent Baptists as Hanputa because they once represented the only real non-Jewish, non-Christian, monotheistic competition and sought to lump them together with the theurgists like Julian Hanpa as also be seen in the story of Zayd ibn Amir ibn Naufal "the Hanif". Pre-tribulation Christian Theologians have considered that 2Thessalonians 2:3 refers to the necessity of the rise of Hanputa ^[5] prior to the final redemption. Julian Hanpa (As Julian the Apostate was known in Syriac or alHanif in Arabic) and many Baptists^[6] in the time of Emir Hanzala ^[7] aka the Ma'amed (n contemporary Byzantine sources) were accused of Hanputa (though later many actually became polytheists ^[8]), hence, when the Ma'amed said "not a divinity but the divine" ^[9] many of the Quraish called the the Ma'amed himself a Tsabi ^[10]. The tafsirs, therefore, makes it clear that only those accused of Hanputa but who are proven not to be Mushrikun will be saved.^[11]. Maimonides seems to use the term Tsabi to refer to a people under Jewish Jurosdiction.^[12]. For those Hanifa who followed the 7 laws he used the term Chochmei Umot Ha Olam ^[13] to distinguish them from both disbelieving Hanifa and from Hassidei Umot HaOlam. The Torah equivalent of believing Baptists are called HaToshavim ^[14], while in Greek records Baptists are called Sebeis or Sebomenoi ^[15]. Mani, as an apostate from the Baptists, is is also called Hanif by his commentators, ^[16] and their usage of the term was intended to be derogatory.

1. ↑ Syriac Etymological Dictionary, though generally translated, as simply "apostasy". The agent word ܚܢܦܐ "Hanpa" occurs in the Peshitta e.g. 1 Corinthians 10:27 in reference to friendly non-believers.
2. ↑ Thabit ibn Qurra called his religion Hanputa
3. ↑ Noahism is based upon the laws which the Tanakh mentions in relation to Hatoshavim and Hagarim. Beth Hillel Halakhah generally categorizes the laws into prohibitions concerning what can be summed up as sexual immorality, traif (tearing creatures), homicide, theft, bad theology (blasphemy), obsessing (idolizing), and general lawlessness.
4. ↑ The Ancient Just were mainly Greek philosophers but also many others who Church Fathers could not accept would be condemned to eternal damnation simply for having been born before Christ's triumph. Hence the doctrine of the Harrowing of Hell was developed to deal with this otherwise injustice.
5. ↑ Pre-millennial rapture theology Dr. Thomas Ice, Pre-Trib Perspective, March 2004, Vol.8, No.11.
6. ↑ Tsabiun first appear in Elam as the audience Elxai preaches to. Some have equated them with the Sampsaeans. They followed the path of the Budasaf, awaited Mitrea, and were ranged from Lybia to China. It seems evident from the demographic data that they were the audience that Prophet Mani was quite successful in swaying.
7. ↑ The historical name for the most famous "Nabi" of Arabia (PBUH)
8. ↑ Ibn al-Qayyim, Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah vol 1 pages 92-98, a fact corroborated by Maimonides
9. ↑ please reference Ibn Masarra, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah (883-931).
10. ↑ Narrated by Rabi’ah ‘ibn ‘Ubbad, ‘Ibn Jurayi (d. 767), and ‘Ata ‘ibn Abi Rabah (d.732)
11. ↑ In the Islamic Quran, 2:62, 5:69 both make it clear that Baptists believe in the divine and the next life
12. ↑ Maimonides Guide for the Perplexed
13. ↑ Maimonides Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 8 para 11
14. ↑ The Tanakh mentions HaToshavim as a lower class of Torah observer but still HaGerim. Since HaToshavim are equated with the Chassidei Umot Ha Olam, the next class down from this logically therefore equates to HaGerim. Prato and Fratini have suggested an etymological connection between the roots *صاب and *שב and even *σεβ.
15. ↑ see for example "Jews and Godfearers at Aphrodisias"
16. ↑ Zum Problem der Sabier und Ḥanīfen
