<br/><br/> This study is an investigation of the most popular justifications for the existence of the modern Messianic movement. The movement's distinctive beliefs and practices are outlined. The matter of establishing a distinctive Christian-Jewish identity using the Messianic approach is then examined next to biblical and practical evidence. The use of the Messianic approach for Jewish evangelism and discipleship is then tested against actual results. The facts of ancient Judaism and early Jewish Christian are examined next to the claim that Messianic movement is the resurrection of ancient Jewish Christianity. Finally, seven recommendations are given for leaders in local churches.
