They were God's people (OT) because - God chose them! It had NOTHING to do with a REVELATION or SEPARATION! It was because they were chosen by GOD!
In the NT - they were Christians - Apostolic Christians - because they identified with Jesus Christ - were baptized in water as an identification with the risen Christ and the teachings of the Apostles. All JEWS believed in ONE GOD! They did not become Apostolic because of their believe in One God!
They were not Apostolic because of any separation issues or the way they dressed. Where in the book of Acts is DRESS addressed?????????

Now, AB, answer this... when they went away from the teaching of the One True God and lost their separation through intermingling with the customs and practices and worship of the heathen, did God put them away or withdraw from them?
