Jesus Movement
The Jesus movement was an Evangelicalism, evangelical Christian movement which began on the West Coast of the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s and primarily spread throughout North America, Europe, and Central America, before it subsided in the late 1980s. Members of the movement were called ''Jesus people'', or ''Jesus freaks''. Its predecessor, the charismatic movement, had already been in full swing for about a decade. It involved mainline Protestants and Catholic Church, Roman Catholics who testified to having supernatural experiences similar to those recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, especially glossolalia, speaking in tongues. Both of these movements held that they were calling the church back to a more biblical picture of Christianity, in which the spiritual gift, gifts of the Spirit would be restored to the Church.

Evangelicalism
Evangelicalism (), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that affirms the centrality of being " born again", in which an individual experiences personal conversion; the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity (biblical inerrancy); and spreading the Christian message. The word ''evangelical'' comes from the Greek (''euangelion'') word for " good news". Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including Pietism and Radical Pietism, Puritanism, Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Moravianism (in particular its bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf and his community at Herrnhut).Brian Stiller, ''Evangelicals Around the World: A Global Handbook for the 21st Century'', Thomas Nelson, USA, 2015, pp. 28, 90.

Jesus Music
Jesus music, known as gospel beat music in the United Kingdom, is a style of Christian music that originated on the West Coast of the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Large numbers of hippies and street musicians began converting to born-again Christianity.

It was founded in 1970 by Moishe Rosen, as Hineni Ministries, before being incorporated under its current name in 1973. All Jewish groups do not consider Jews for Jesus to be a Jewish organization.

Additionally, the Supreme Court of Israel determined that Jews for Jesus are not actually Jews, as belief in Jesus as the Messiah is not a Jewish value. Instead, most jews view Jesus as either a good Jewish teacher or a false prophet, as opposed to a Messiah, messianic figure. There were, however, a number of Jewish Christian, Jewish C ...
