All Believers Are Messianic
I take exception to the term "Messianic Jew"
When someone becomes born again they are, everyone "Messianic." To give a special title to the Jews when they become born again, is to separate them from other parts of the body of Christ.
We have Jewish brothers and sisters and the Lord used the term in the Lord...."Brethren."
We are all Brethren in the Lord, there need not be any dividing terminology that makes them individually special over any other believer.
The nation of Israel is special in one sense, but the individual Jew is brother and sister with the believing Gentiles.
James 2:1 "My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism."
Also, to use the term Messianic Jew is to seem to imply they are saved Jews who are not Messianic. Here again, is the human need for special titles that the Lord never gave, you will not see the designation "Messianic Jew", in the Bible anywhere.
