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](/denominations) and [Christianity](/christianity).

[What Is Messianic Judaism? What Messianic Jews Believe](/messianic-judaism/what-is-messianic-judaism) 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?](/messianic-judaism/messianic-judaism-vs-hebrew-roots) separates these congregations from Hebrew Roots and Sacred Name groups, some of which do not confess the Trinity.
