I came to Messiah in 1973 at age 16. I believe what they were teaching at the church I attend. My dad sent me to a Sabbath keeping private school. It was owned by the church that he was a pastor in. As I listened to the preaching I believed they were right about the commandments and keeping Sabbath. I was soon baptized and began understanding that Torah was not abolished. Not everyone's eyes are open as scripture points out. The father chooses people and opens their eyes. There is a difference between the sheep and the goats. We see that Elohim chose the meekest man that ever lived to guide those people out of Egypt. This reveals a lot about the people he chooses. I have seen so many goats rise up in the church and they scatter the sheep. Please pray for the body of Messiah the more people would understand the ways of Elohim and have a spiritual mindset. I have seen too much carnality that it saddens me. I've seen men as pastors that shouldn't be pastors. They take on the preeminence which is condemned in Scripture. Only Messiah has the preeminence. Please pray that more eyes would be open to the truth and people would humble themselves.

I only know that it was due to years of "guidance" through seminary and then other teachers in his life. We did however agree that he should have looked deeper by himself when he still had the strength. Unfortunately he passed away 10 months later so we could never get to a conclusion, BUT he supported me in my investigation. Which is more than what most parents give their children when they go "the other way" in life.
Yes, we should be praying more for others; both already learning the Way and those whom Father is still too guide to the Way.
At the same time we also have to be on the watch for false teachers as there are many and their voices are the loudest...
