Are Messianic Jews Raptured?

Will Messianic Jews be taken in the rapture along with Gentile believers or are they considered part of a different group?

 

Q. Will Messianic Jews be taken in the rapture along with Gentile believers or are they considered part of a different group?

A. Galatians 3:26-28 says, “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

All believers during the church age, regardless of origin or background, belong to the church and inherit its blessings.

But in the last 2000 years, Jews have suffered more persecution at the hands of those claiming to be part of the church than by any other group. This is surely one of the factors contributing to the Messianic movement and the desire by some in the movement to been seen as distinct from the church.

Nevertheless, Messianic Jews are saved by grace alone and will receive a full share in the Church’s inheritance just like their gentile counterparts..
