One BECOMES a Christian and is saved upon
accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, through Faith by Grace.
Jew or Gentile, there is no difference
for a Jew is a Jew of the heart. We are therefore Jews, but Christian, as
followers of Christ, by the heart and not by the letter of the law.

Christian?
When a
Jew is saved he becomes a Christian. This doesn't mean he is no longer a
Jew by physical birth. BUT IT DOES MEAN, THE JEW CANNOT GO BACK TO
THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD. If he does, he
becomes a Judiazer.
If the Jew by physical birth is born again
by the second birth he becomes a Christian. If this Christian goes back
to the law (Jew or Gentile) he is fallen from grace. Gal. 5:4.
The path of least confusion is to accept the fact that there is
NO
RELATIONSHIP between the concept of being a Christian and being
saved.
Religions, such as Christianity, do not save people. Jesus
Christ saves
people, and in my experience, he saves not only Christians,
but Jews too,
Your path of least confusion causes more confusion at
least to me. The word Christian is in the Bible. AND in the two
times the word is in the Bible it referred to people who were saved and on
their way to heaven. In the Bible the word Christian was not used as you
use it. I only use the word Christian Biblically.
