Some people call messianic Judaism a cult. Clearly, they are speaking without a clear understanding of what a cult actually is.

For example, there are no secret rituals or initiations in messianic Judaism. We recite the same prayers and celebrate the same holidays and observe pretty much the same kosher laws as most Jews (depending on how strictly you interpret the meat and dairy thing). We also worship the same messiah as Christians, although we call him by his true Hebrew name, Y’shua.

If you want to talk about what is cult-like, take a look at the Mormon Church and their secret rituals and initiations. Sorry, but none of my religious beliefs are based around protective underwear.
