If you fail to distinguish between believing and unbelieving Jews, you will fall into one of two extremes: either dispensationalist bootlicking of the Jews or hatred of all those who are of Jewish descent.

How many American elders have been ordained with prayer and fasting? I have seen preachers disqualify other preachers' ordinations for many things, except for the lack of fasting.
