While today’s Messianic Jewish movement has been established to be a venue for Jewish outreach and evangelism, throughout its history, the Messianic Jewish movement has always recognized that non-Jewish Believers are going to be attracted to its synagogues and congregations. While the place of non-Jewish Believers, and their participation in the assembly, vary across the spectrum—from full membership to associate membership to welcome visitors—it is widely acknowledged in many Messianic sectors that non-Jewish Believers, in today’s Messianic movement, probably bear some kind of Ruth calling on them.
Today’s Messianic movement is not like evangelical Protestantism, where you have a sufficiently large enough group of people, as well as a wide enough variety of denominations and local assemblies—where if an individual or family does not quite receive what they need in one place, they can go to another. Today’s Messianic movement is small, and there are not that many options available to people. Today’s Messianic movement is much more like the Jewish Synagogue, in that you have a very tight knit group of people—and as the old adage reminds us, “Two Jews, three opinions.” Unlike the Protestant world, where if you disagree with the theology of a particular group, you can try another group—in the Jewish world you learn how to maneuver through a plurality of views and positions on a variety of non-essential issues. The Messianic movement is quite similar: on non-essential issues, people have to learn how to be flexible, respectfully disagree, and at least encourage reasonable dialogue on issues so as to decrease unnecessary tensions.
Each one of us, who find ourselves attending a Messianic congregation or assembly, brings our own series of expectations, needs, and wants. Jewish Believers in Israel’s Messiah have certain needs—and indeed requirements—as they involve the local Messianic congregation not only being a “safe space” for them to maintain their Jewish heritage and traditions, not assimilating into a non-Jewish Christianity, but most especially as a place where they can bring their non-believing family and friends to be presented with the good news of Yeshua. Non-Jewish Believers called into today’s Messianic movement, from evangelical Protestant backgrounds, bring a selection of needs as they become involved in Messianic congregations.
