  • The Messianic Congregational Movement
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: DJ440 SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW: THE MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONAL MOVEMENT by Bruce J. Lieske This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 22, number 1 (1999). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS Although the first Christians were Jews organized into Messianic congregations, we have no record of a specifically Jewish Christian congregation after A.D. 400. Subsequently, the ekklesia (church) was predominantly Gentile for 15 centuries, but since 1967 there has been a rapid growth of Jesus-believing Jews, who have organized themselves into Messianic congregations. Most of these new Messianic congregations, although clearly Jewish in their identity, are within the mainstream of Christian orthodoxy. Others emphasize Jewishness more than Jesus and the New Covenant, and still others are cultic. The ekklesia, still predominantly Gentile, is challenged to understand new biblical emphases in this movement, such as the celebration of traditional Jewish festivals and the practice of circumcision — and to affirm that God has not abandoned His covenant with the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who indeed as a nation (not every individual) will ultimately embrace Jesus as their Messiah and so enter the ekklesia (Rom. 11:23–26). “Jews for Jesus!” shouts from the pages of that ancient Jewish book that we call the New Testament. “Jews for Jesus!” is also a slogan that seems new in the past 30 years. Something old, something new — Jesus-believing Jews. The Book of Acts records Jews by the thousands coming to faith in Jesus as their Messiah and informs us about that first Messianic congregation in Jerusalem — its first deacons, struggles, and persecutions.

  • (2003). Eschatology and Theological Dialogue : Insights from Adventist Inter-Church Conversations . One in Christ
    29 ONE IN CHRIST VOL.47 NO.1 ESCHATOLOGY AND THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE: INSIGHTS FROM ADVENTIST INTERCHURCH CONVERSATIONS1 Stefan Höschele* Unlike many other bilateral theological dialogues, the interchurch conversations in which Seventh-day Adventists were involved contain substantial discussions about eschatological themes. This paper presents a first thematic analysis of the denomination’s dialogues; it focuses on some aspects of those papers that deal with aspects of eschatology and suggests that this theme, and continued Adventist participation in bilateral conversations, can be fruitful for ecumenical dialogue. Introduction The debate on constructive interchurch relations emerged as a theme of its own relatively late in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.2 This is not surprising and similar for many other churches. Often denominations which started as movements inside other churches or as interdenominational revivals, and then went their own way, needed time to organize and define themselves before being able to connect with other church organizations in dialogical ways. In the case of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, it took about a century until the first significant attempts were made to relate to non- 1 I wish to express my gratitude to the two anonymous reviewers of this article. An earlier and shorter version was presented at an Adventist European theologians’ convention, Cernica, Romania, 28 April 2011. * Stefan Höschele, Ph.D. ([email protected]; www.thh- friedensau.de/hoeschele), is a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. He has taught Systematic Theology and Mission Studies at Theologische Hochschule Friedensau, Germany, since 2003, and served as a lecturer of theology at Tanzania Adventist College (now University of Arusha) from 1997 to 2003.
