Johannite

Johannite

The Johannites are a sect of Gnostics who reject Jesus Christ, and instead posit that the true savior of the world (sent to fulfill Old Testament prophecy) was in fact John the Baptist, as he was performing baptisms before Jesus' birth.

Some descendants of the original adherents to this doctrine are the Mandaeans, a group of Gnostics who claim existence before John, claiming to be followers of the original Adamic religion. They believe that Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were all false prophets.
