Hebrew Apostolics ??????????????????

I have a friend I grew up with in the church- haven't seen or
talked to this person in 8 years. They married and moved to
Detriot, MI and we lost contact. This person is here for a family reunion
so we met after church and talked til 4AM.

Anyhow, i was shocked to hear when they told me they are
now a "hebrew Apostolic"! i was like WHAAT. They don't use
the word "Jewish" (for some reason), they observe the hebrew
feast & holidays, adhere to the dietary laws, observe the passover
and the sabbath ( church is on Saturday!) Yet still believe in
Acts 238!!!

Has anyone heard of this??? They claim it is growing rapidly???

what do you think?

Is this a doctrine we can agree to disagree on or
a totally false doctrine that they should be warned of?

If their faith is in Christ and not these doctrines of Judaism then I embrace them as brothers and sisters in Christ. If these things are required for right standing with God, then they are in defiance of the liberty in Christ.

These people are definitely part of a legalistic belief system, I'd say maybe even a cult. I heard them on the radio in Alabama once, "You'd better partake in the Feast of the Trumpets" or something to that affect, it's been a few years. But I can still remember the creepiness of the lady's voice.

I ran into a "Hebrew" in Baltimore-- these people are desperately deceived and if you ever thought some UPCI churches were legalistic, check these guys out.
