[edit] Messianic Disciple

Delete. Non-notable, obscure terminology. No context given in article. I searched Google for a while to figure out what this is supposed to be about, but it still seems to be incomprehensible sect-speak. —Preost talk contribs 22:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

    • There is only one link in the article, and that is to Messianic Jew, which does not explain what a "Messianic Disciple" is. When it's not giving endlessly hedging definitions, this article seems to be attempting to adopt the definition of Messianic Jew, but without the "Jew" part. It seems much more like someone's pet theological phrase than a notable and distinct theological concept. In any event, it only gets 33 unique Google hits[1], and most of them seem to be part of some webring. So, even if it is "pretty important," hardly anyone's talking about it. —Preost talk contribs 14:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, I see the link and I look at it, but it doesn't mention a messianic disciple. No sourced claims so it might be original research or a view of a very small group of people, which isn't identified. - Bobet 03:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
