In your own words describe Messianism
Messianic Believers are Jews and Gentiles who have embraced Yeshua as the Messiah of Israel (Redeemer of the World).
Messianic Believers incorporate, affirm, and preserve the Jewish identity, Jewish customs, and Jewish style of worship, as they seek to be a light to the Jew first, then to the Nations .
In this case, the Messianic movement.Do you mean Messianism or the Messianic movement - they are not always the same thing? Messianism is the name given to the study of Jewish hopes for a Messiah throughout their history (it has this meaning certainly in the UK if not elsewhere).

I prefer the term Messiahism nowadays, for this particular religion, and Messiahists for those who adhere to this Christian religion -- as they believe a particular man was "messiah". All Jews who observe Judaism are actually "messianic", by virtue of our knowledge and assurance that HaShem's Messiah will come when he should; therefore "messianic Judaism" limited to any one religion, is rather a misnomer IMO.
I disagree I think the term Messianic is perfect for the believer in Yeshua as He is the Messiah.....I agree that Judiasm looks forward to the Messiah coming one day but that day is a reality for us and thus Messianic is very appropriateI prefer the term Messiahism nowadays, for this particular religion, and Messiahists for those who adhere to this Christian religion -- as they believe a particular man was "messiah".

nah, every Jew who follows Judaism is, by definition and necessity, Messianic. There's no arguing it, of course. But, it's quite reasonable to call anyone who claims a specific individual as messiah, a messiahist. It's accurately descriptive without ignoring the reality that all Jews who practice Judaism are "messianic". Just as all Jews who practice Judaism are "believers", so referring to xians as believers to the exclusion of Jews (again, practicing Judaism), is also an unfortunate misnomer.I disagree I think the term Messianic is perfect for the believer in Yeshua as He is the Messiah.....I agree that Judiasm looks forward to the Messiah coming one day but that day is a reality for us and thus Messianic is very appropriate

Again, I agree. Just as there is small segment of Lubavitchers who have unfortunately stepped outside of Judaism are called meshichist due to their their heretical beliefs.
Shavua tov!Im very proud to be called by that name it fits me like a glove
Precisely.Again, I agree. Just as there is small segment of Lubavitchers who have unfortunately stepped outside of Judaism are called meshichist due to their their heretical beliefs.
