Gnostic's were early Christians who believed in knowledge over god. Gnostic's were Christian's who were considered heretics to the council of the banning of the books of The Bible.
Answer #2:
'Gnosis' means 'Knowledge', and Gnosticism is the philosophy that direct, personal experience of God is possible. Some believe that Gnosis is indispensible to salvation. Jesus said that many who cried 'Lord, Lord' would not be saved, because he never knewthem; this must mean some special type of knowledge for, if Jesus is accepted as God, he 'knows' everyone in the ordinary sense of the word. The gospel of John says, 'shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free'. There are many Gnostics on earth today. I am one.

What belief is the belief of believing in a higher power but not in any god or religion would it happen to be deism?
The name of the "belief" or "religion" that your question asks is Gnostic(ism).Gnostic's central belief is based on an awareness of of "Creator", or of a Super Conscious being, but one who was not without flaw or error. This "higher being" was the spiritual equivalent of "God", but an imperfect one.Gnosticism predates Christianity, and yet were, not commonly known, the basis of the teachings of Christ. "Gnosticism is an early religious movement which accepted Christ teachings but in their own gospels. They believed the creator god was not perfect and saw a spiritual god as the essence of the soul. Some believe that the Gnostic Christian tradition predates modern Christianity which view Christ as the son of God and a physical being here to save us from our sins." (user "Axel's definition" on yahoo.com)The Essenes, in particular, were Gnostic, who prepared chosen daughters (based on the "purity" of their nature) to be the chosen vessal through which their spiritual God could manifest in the physical world, which they devoutly believed would happen as foretold by respected "spiritual greats" that had lived before (prominent amongst them was Isaiah). The Virgin Mother was one of the chosen (as well as her cousin, Elizabeth, who became John the Baptist's wife) daughters of the Essenes (a gnostic sect who lived privately and humbly); Mary was secluded since the age of 4 to learn and put into everyday practice, the deepest of the Gnostic's beliefs and rituals.Agnosticism is the opposite: they have a sense their is a higher power, but they do not know, and therefore can't define what they "sense" or why they belief there is a higher power.I hope this gives you enough info to followup on in your quest for learning more about your question!~PsychicSoul~
