Jewish Believers

Greetings Higher Fire:

May the Lord richly reward you as you seek to honor Him in all your 
ways. 

I've enjoyed being on this forum and following the various strands of 
conversation. Since my roots are oneness pentecostal, it is a joy 
to hear home folk sharing.

Wanted to let you know about a forum that is sponsored by our 
ministry that you may want to look into. It is called Abraham-Forum.

The purpose of Abraham-Forum is to allow Christians and Messianic
Jews to enter into dialogue concerning our common Hebraic heritage.
You are aware of a tremendous move of God among the Jews. Many are
coming to Jesus in their own culture. Most are uncomfortable with 
traditiona Christian churches, especially trinitarian assemblies. 
They are forming their own congregations. 

My point is that 'Oneness' pentecostals have a lot in common with
the the Jewish believers. Messianic Jews continue to have a strong
emphasis on the 'echad' (oneness) of God. 

Another point of kinship is that we as oneness people have nearly
made the sh'ma of Israel a creedal confession with possibly
realizing it. Where they would say, "Sh'ma, Israel, Adonai Eloheinu,
Adonai echad," we say, "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the
Lord is One!" (Deut6:4)

The confession of the oneness of God is the last confession a Jew
makes in dying. Is it not nearly so with us. For the Jew it is one
aspect of kiddush haShem. (Sanctifying the Name.) We as oneness
people hold tightly the the truth of God's undivided Being. It is our 
deepest desire to sanctify the name of Jesus in all the earth. 

Anyway, i want to extend an invitation to any of our pentecostal
brothers and sisters to join Abraham-Forum. The only caution is you
need to understand there are many folk on the forum come from varied
beliefs. 

However, the purpose of the forum is to allow Christians and
Messianic Jews to come together and confer with one another in the
love of Jesus. (Yeshua) We need to hear from one another. The forum 
is supervised in the sense that we don't allow people to flame one 
another. (The forum is a couple weeks old and has members from around 
the world. Some members are traditional Jews who love Jesus, but are 
yet afraid to voice Him publicly. They need encouragement.)

If you would like to subscribe, simply send an email to <hub@xc.org>
Don't use a subject. In the body simply say - subscribe Abraham-Forum
- You will receive a confirmation of membership and a list of
guidelines. You will also be encouraged to bring a greeting to the
forum. But that is entirely up to you.

Hope to see my pentecostal brothers and sisters on the forum. I 
am the host and my son, Nathan, is the moderator.

Peace be with you.

Shalom. Shalom. 

Buddy
