You could try using Go Locker or Widget Locker, or a similar lockscreen replacement. That's probably your best option.
Other than that, I don't believe you can... You can get it to show up in the notification bar, but it won't stay up; you'll have to read it right when you got it. When it finishes scrolling through the message, it'll go away.

Handcent has a popup that might work for you. Not a lockscreen though.

MiLocker has a few I like.

I wanted to try GoLocker but I think it requires GoLauncher and I rather not have that and use Apex.

I'm pretty certain you can install and use GoLocker without GoLauncher. It should let you select the launcher you want it to go to, just like the other lockscreen replacement apps.

Yea I know you can choose APEX but having GoLauncher installed in the background just bothers me.

Well how about that. Yeah you're right, that is very annoying...especially since GoLauncher is going to be using resources in the background...

Try widgetlocker + pure messenger widget.

SmsPopup is excellent, been using for a while now and really like it, you don't need to replace your messaging app, it just handles the notifications with a nice pop up and quick-reply feature. And its free, no ads.

My SMS app (free) has a setting to allow a text to show on the lockscreen

SMS Popup is the closest thing you can get if u don't want the extra packaging(IE: Handcent) although just remember it might drain your battery if youre conservative although you won't see much of a difference just make sure to turn off notifications on the SMS on the OS to avoid any conflict because the app has its own notification

I've been using Nova Launcher with Widget Locker and TeslaUnread (ADW Notifier works too). Basically, when I get a notification, I get a tiny icon my lockscreen button that I have to slide and I just slide it to my messaging app shortcut (which has the notification) and voila. It's not the same but it's similar and gets the job done. I have it going for K9 mail too.

+1, or any other SMS widget (e.g.). Search for "SMS Widget" on the market.

go sms will allow it as well. and you can customize the entire appearance settings as you can in handcent but with the pop ups included. and you dont have to download any of the other go services to be able to use it. if you dont like the look or use of gosms try handcent instead. i used it for a long time with hardly any issues
