Hello and welcome to the forum.
Just to let you know, the first 3 posts are moderated to help keep out spam and bots.
Thanks for your introduction, it explains very well who you are.
I would say your screen name may need to be changed though. I respect your beliefs but saying you are a "completed Israelite" seems to indicate you think we are "incomplete" which is the farthest thing from the truth.
Being a messianic is just another way of saying you are a Christian. Yes, some of your beliefs may be different than other Christians (which isn't anything new), but the bottom line is, correct me if I am wrong, is that you believe Jesus is your lord and savior, the messiah of the Jewish people.
As far as being "grafted in", that is another Christian concept that has no place in Judaism.
The only way to be Jewish is either to be born as one, or to convert through the proper channels.
Not trying to be mean or disrespectful here, just telling it like it is.
After all, this is a Jewish forum!
