Messianic Judaism
A Trinitarian shelf for Messianic Jewish alliances, unions, and ministries, with links to their own statements of faith.
Messianic Jews are Jewish people who believe Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah, together with non-Jews who worship with them. The Messianic Jewish Alliance of America says God “exists forever in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Independent congregations outside these bodies vary in belief. See the denomination list and Christianity.
What Is Messianic Judaism? What Messianic Jews Believe quotes the alliances, the union, and the two largest ministries on God, Torah, the Sabbath, and Gentile believers.
Messianic Judaism vs Hebrew Roots: What Is the Difference? separates these congregations from Hebrew Roots and Sacred Name groups, some of which do not confess the Trinity.
