The Early Centuries Jewish Believers
Who were the Jewish believers in Jesus, during the early centuries? What were they known for and how widespread were they? Can these groups be identified, as well as, their contribution to Christianity? CM

I believe Romans 11 shows that the Jews who believed in Jesus remained as Israel. And those who rejected him were broken off. Then God began adding believing gentiles to Israel in the place of the unbelievers.
But since biblical Israel is believers only, it is spiritual in nature, as the core always was. Only the State and physical unbelieving portion God removed. Making it global in fulfilment to the promise he made to Abraham. Christendom = Biblical Israel. Also called the Church.

The book of James was written to Jewish believers if I'm not mistaken. Peter goes to the Jewish church as well.
