What did Jesus mean when He told His followers to make disciples of all the nations? Did that mean that they were to “get them saved” ? Make them members of the local church? Teach them creeds and doctrines? Baptize them? The Church has overlooked the undeniable fact that not only did God choose to reveal Himself through the Hebrew people, language, and culture; but that He continued to do so throughout the “New Testament.” The Church has nothing left to lose and everything to gain by returning to the original patterns of life, scholarship, liturgy, and fellowship that marked the original Way of a Disciple of Yeshua of Nazareth.
