Overview:

Messianic Judaism is a religious movement, composed of faith groups of persons who:

bulletRegard themselves to be committed Jews.
bulletBelieve that Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus Christ) is the Messiah spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. Old Testament).
bulletBelieve that they are following the practices and beliefs of the very early Christian movement.
bulletFollow an Evangelical Christian theology.

They differ from Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews over their beliefs about the Messiah. Jews generally believe that the Messiah has yet to come; they do not accept Messianic Jews as real Jews.
