Noetians
Charles Buck Theological Dictionary [1]
Christian heretics in the third century, followers of Noetius, a philosopher of Ephesus, who pretended that he was another Moses sent by God, and that his brother was a new Aaron. His heresy consisted in affirming that there was but one person in the Godhead; and that the Word and the Holy Spirit were but external denominations given to God in consequence of different operations; that, as Creator, he is called Father; as incarnate, Son; and as descending on the apostles, Holy Ghost.

is the name of the followers of Noetus (q.v.). They affirmed that their founder was Moses, and that his brother was Aaron, and taught that Christ was the Father himself, and that the Father was begotten and suffered and died. See, however, for details the article (See Noetus), and compare the articles (See Monophysites) and (See Antitrinitarians).
