So, the Church would not be on earth to affect the salvation of Israel. Indeed, Jews who came to Jesus were said to be part of the 3rd race and no longer part of Israel’ s destiny nor would they affect Israel’ s corporate salvation at all. As part of the Church, they would be taken out as well, so a Jewish believers movement before the rapture would not be a key to Israel’ s salvation. New Jewish missions that followed this theology sought to see Jews saved and part of the Church, but it would be wrong for them to live and identify as Jews( or to go back and observe the Torah as Jews). Jewish missions were for the sake of saving Jews just as missions to any nation were for the purpose of seeing individuals saved from that nation.
The Church’ s Mission to the Jews, CMJ, in England, represented the theology that led to the appointment of Bishop Alexander. This theology had become an amazing consensus of British theology including many in several denominations. It taught that Israel would return to the Land, the Church would affect her salvation and Jesus would return. What an amazing time this was, however, the new Dispensational theology gained more and more adherents. The old view of Bishop Alexander and his supporters was supported side by side with more and more who were supporting the Dispensational view. Jewish missions more and more embraced the dispensational view in the 20th century.
