| Thank you for entering my page! Right now, you are probably searching to find out more about Jewish beliefs in Jesus. Perhaps, you are questioning your faith, and are looking at different options. Are you in Kansas and interested in Messianic Judaism? Curious about the Messianic Jewish movement? Adat Yeshua is a Messianic congregation in Overland Park, Kansas. However, there is only one big problem...Adat Yeshua is not a Jewish group at all, but a Christian organization. Adat Yeshua is part of the Pentecostal Church! I will prove this, using information from their web-sites and other Christian sites. Reference links will be provided so that you can see the information for you own eyes. Pentecostal Connection
On the Adat Yeshua webpage, Adat Yeshua proclaims itself a "Messianic Jewish" organization and states that its leader is "Rabbi Jerry Feldman." Here is the link to their site so that you can see that they make this claim:
Click Here So, what is the problem? Well, actually, Adat Yeshua is a church of the Assembly of God movement, which is more commonly known as the Pentecostal movement. Here is the link to the Assembly of God movement's Church Directory. You will see that Adat Yeshua is officially part of their church. Here is the proof:
Click Here Would a real Jewish congregation be an official member of the Pentecostal movement? Of course not! It is pretty obvious that the Pentecostal movement is not in the habit of founding real Jewish organizations. Christian Education
Reverend Feldman often attempts to highlight his Jewish birth and upbringing, to try to legitimize his presentations. However, he was educated at a Christian evangelical seminary. According to The Presbyterian Church of Stanley, where Feldman has been a guest speaker, Reverend Feldman is a graduate of the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Here is the link to the proof, he is the third listing under "Rabbi Jerry Feldman":
Click Here Now, you may be curious about the mission of the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Here is the first part of its mission statement: "Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary is an educational institution serving the Lord and His Church. Its mission is to prepare men and women for ministry at home and abroad. The Seminary undertakes this task as a training partner with the Church so that what is learned on campus may be complemented by the spiritual nurture and the exercise of ministry available through the Church."
It is crystal clear that this is group that trains Christian leaders, not Jewish leaders! A real Jew would never attend Gordon-Conwell, only a Christian would. Here is the link to the quote, the quote is the first paragraph of the mission statement:

Reverend Feldman also has his own radio show, called "For Zion's Sake", on KCCV radio. Here is the link to the proof:
Click Here So what is KCCV radio? Well, it is a Christian radio station. It broadcasts "Christian teaching and talk." Here is a link to KCCV radio where it talks about its Christian nature, the quote is from the "Format" section:
Click Here Would a real Jewish leader broadcast on a station teaching Christianity as its main concept? Never, only a Christian would! Basic Hebrew
The name of a group tells you a great deal about their ideas and beliefs. Adat Yeshua tries to present itself as a Jewish group by writing their name in Hebrew on their site. Unfortunately, they spell their name incorrectly. Instead of writing "Adat" they wrote "Arat". For those who can read Hebrew, you will notice that they put the Hebrew letter Resh (which makes an "R" sound) where they should have put a Dalet (which makes a "D" sound). A real Jewish group would never make such a blatant Hebrew error on its own name! Here is the link to their homepage where they made the error:
