Baptised Noahides
Baptised Noahides are Noahides who are connected to the Sabbatarian tradition of Professor Vendyl Jones's' 'Noahide Umot' Church which already had a tax exempt status ruling in 07/2003 but changed its name to High Council of Bnei NoaH in 2005. The ititiative Sabbatarian practice of Baptism can be traced back to the Sabbatarians (Godfearers) of the Hasmonean times who had been grafted into the Jewish community. Baptized Noahides are therefore counted as the historically legitimate continuity of the ancient Toshav Haverim grafted into the Hebrew family which goes back to Mount Sinai. The ten Deacons of the original 'Noahide Umot' Church included Professor Vendyl Jones 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. Coming from a Sabbatarian background, Baptized Noahides have varying degrees of respect for Jesus of Nazareth ranging from respecting him as a teacher of Noahide Judaism to belief in him as an appearance of the Jewish Messiah ben Joseph for the nations.
