It seems to me that a Pharisee who believes in the Christ, would be considered "apostate" by definition.   Within the Messianic community of believers  (is there another term?), I can see a continued respect for the (converted) Pharisee, but in the larger Jewish community, he would be considered apostate, would he not?   John
