Camouflage Missionaries may not divulge their own religious affiliations. Some Jews for Jesus-type missionaries try to develop a quick rapport with their targets by wearing external signs of Jewishness, such as a Chai or a Star of David necklace. To make Jews feel more comfortable and make the missionaries appear less Christian, they are coached by their superiors to avoid using words such as Christ, saved or baptized so they don’t arouse suspicion.

What positive actions can we take to avoid getting involved in a cult?

Care about yourself as a person and as a Jew. Caring about yourself as a person means that you will not allow anyone to take advantage of you, that you will not be victimized, that you will not be compromised.

As Hebrew-Christians, individuals seeking to know and do the will of the Almighty, you are confronted with a significant question: is the New Testament really the Word of G-d? Your leaders have assured you that the answer is "yes;" perhaps you have even had some emotional experiences which seem to validate your leaders' assurances.
