| Thank you for coming to my website! Are you in Fort Worth and interested in Messianic Judaism? Beth Yeshua is a Messianic Jewish community aimed at bringing Jewish people to Messianic beliefs. The only problem? It is not a Jewish group at all! It is part of the Assemblies of God Church, also known as the Pentecostal movement! I will prove this, using evidence from their site, and other Christian sites. Each time, links will be provided to the evidence so that you can see the evidence with your own eyes.
Membership Beth Yeshua presents itself as a Jewish organization led by "Rabbi" David Stone, but it is an official member of the Assemblies of God Christian movement. Here is a link to their listing at the Assemblies of God web-site.
Click Here A real Jewish group would never be part of an international Christian church movement! Since I have put up this web-site, I have received numerous e-mails from former Beth Yeshua members, including one of the founders of Beth Yeshua. These former members have told me that Reverend Stone is not Jewish and has never been Jewish. He is a Christian by birth and has been a Christian his entire life. So, perhaps it is not that suprising to see that Beth Yeshua is part of a Christianity. Since Beth Yeshua is a Assemblies of God church, it is logical that it holds services at Bethel Temple, another Assemblies of God church. Here is a link to the Bethel Temple website; Beth Yeshua is listed on the "Service Schedule" under "Fridays":

The Leader The leader of Beth Yeshua is David Stone, who refers to himself as a "rabbi." As stated earlier, he is not a rabbi at all, but an ordained Assemblies of God minister! Here is a quote from the Beth Yeshua site: "Rabbi David Stone became a born again believer in Yeshua at age 11 and was soon licensed to preach at the early age of 13. David was given a heart for the Jewish people at age 16, therefore beginning his call to Jewish Ministry. David became involved in the Messianic Jewish movement in college after he pioneered the Jewish campus outreach program, The Hope of Israel. Rabbi Stone graduate from Berean Bible College in March 1997, receiving a diploma in Ministerial Studies and received ordination in 1997 with the Assemblies of God.
Licensed to preach at age 13? There is no such thing as a "license to preach" in Judaism. A dipolma in Ministerial Studies? Clearly, not a Jewish degree. Lastly, he admits to being an ordained minister from the Assemblies of God, not a Jewish movement! This is not a Jewish leader, but a fully Christian leader. Here is the link to the quote:
Click Here As for the Berean Bible College, where Stone attended, let's meet one of the founders: "Pastor Evans has been a voice for revival and visitation for over 50 years. Founding Pastor of a local church in San Diego, California, and the founder of Berean Bible College. Now travelling extensively in the States and Overseas with a strong prophetic mantle and preaching the vision and triumph of the Church.
His burden is for strong Local Churches taking part in the harvest of the world! His opening of the Scriptures will bless and inspire you!
It is pretty obvious that Berean is a Christian school and a real Jewish leader would never attend their school! Here is the link to the quote, the quote is from Dr. George E. Evans, the 7th biography on the page:
