All In For Jewish Conversion

It is amazing how many different Christian denominations will get together to convert the Jews to Christianity. As an example, let's look at Jim Sibley involvement in different conversion efforts run by an assortment of Christian groups. Jim Sibley is best known in the Jewish world for a ten year run as the head of Jewish Ministries for the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). At the present time, he teaches Jewish evangelism at the SBC's Criswell College.

Jim Sibley is also now on the board of The Church's Ministry among Jewish People-USA (CMJ). CMJ is the Church of England's attempt to convert the Jewish people. The Church of England is the church which invented Messianic Judaism, originally calling it "Hebrew-Christianity."

Further, he is currently the Editor-In-Chief and Publisher of Mishkan, a publication on the Messianic movement and converting the Jews to Christianity. Mishkan is published in conjuction with the Caspari Center, which is a Israeli-based Jewish evangelical center created by the Norwegian Church Ministry to Israel. The Norwegian Church Ministry to Israel is the evangelical arm of the Church of Norway, which is a Lutheran church.

These three Christian denominations (the Southern Baptist Convention, the Church of England and the Church of Norway) represent three totally different streams of Christianity. They have different leaders, different histories and even differing theologies. But, they will all get together to convert the Jewish people.
