Allowing Rabbis to teach from Pentecostal Pulpits?

Not sure why Christians would give any legitimacy to a religious group that is anti-christ..ian.

Lack of knowledge of the Bible has made so many accept or turn a blind eye to what God has already given His seal of destruction.

Any thoughts on this subject?

Since Jesus made it clear that His disciples are not to allow anyone to call them "Rabbi" (Matthew 23:8), it's impossible to understand how anyone would be okay with inviting a non-disciple of Jesus into a meeting, and then introduce or call that non-disciple "Rabbi". Seems like a surefire way to set the Lord Jesus against you, if you ask me.

Not to mention that the Rabbinical Judaism of today is a two millennia in the making outgrowth of the Pharisaical tradition that Jesus renounced and trounced every chance He got, seems to suggest an antipathy between He and them that, if I'm not mistaken, has not abated since then until now.

Philippians 3:2-3 (ESV)

2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh...

The Jews had their chance, don't need to hear what they have to say.

But in terms of denominational politics, perhaps they can "testify" on a Saturday night instead of preach on Sunday

Testify would be too strong for them if you ask me. There is nothing they would have to say that would make our walk with God one bit better. They are not the chosen of God and never will be, their only recourse is the accept Christ as their savior.

The emboldened text above smacks of hubris, Brother. Even if you mark them as enemies as per Romans 11:28 or 1 Thessalonians 2:14, for example, let it not be said that even from one's enemies, one might not learn at least a thing or two.
