Interesting topic reguarding the 2 houses of Israel has been brought up before, but not in a topic where an appropiate place for dialogue.
I do reject this doctrine because it is not clearly spelled out in scripture. The majority of the NT's rhetoric surrounding this topic is on Gentiles not having the same standard for obedience. I am not saying that it will not change eschatologically; but by human effort I believe nothing should be done to discern whether or not Gentiles might actually be long lost Jews.
