Messianic Jewish Believers Need Conversion
We must recognize many non-Jewish believers, who have come out of the Gentile world into Israel through Messiah, feel and live much more as a Jew than a Gentile or even a Christian, they need conversion to Judaism.
They are surely no longer Gentiles in their lifestyles. When a Messianic Jew does not has a way of obtaining Shtar geirut (a certificate of his/her conversion) and feel proud of their roots, it sometimes results in a strong urge to adhere to Israel through an orthodox conversion as their claim to Israel. Messianic Judaism in many cases has been variously described as a sect, cult, or heresy. They are not.
You can find proof of your Jewishness through Jewish heritage (Genealogy. Let WMEK Bnei Anusim Genealogy be your Family History Coach (Mentor) and find your lost ancestors. Lets research together: Contact Us), DNA or be recognized by their fruit (according to Yeshua in Matthew 7:16,20).
In recent decades, there has been a renewed Jewish conversion interest with some Bnei Anusim (children of the forced (converts)), that is, the descendants of Jews who were forced to convert to other faiths, like Sephardic Ancestry. If you are one of them, you need to Convert to Messianic Judaism to be accepted and to feel good about yourself. Its your right!
But when someone asks one of our converts, “what is your religion?” The natural and appropriate answer is, “Judaism.”
It comes down to the Olive Tree theology of Rom 11. Avraham was not born Jewish and faith saved him and he became the father of all Jews, either by descent or ingrafting by faith. Avraham teaches us that faith is the way for anyone whether born Jewish or not, just as observing Torah.
All other branches of Judaism provide for Gentile “conversion.” Netzarim Messianic Judaism must also provide for Gentile “conversion.” In reality Netzarim Judaism is a “branch,” “sect,” or “denomination” of Judaism which accepts Yeshua of Nazareth, man no G-d, as Israel’s Messiah. We are not Christians since we do not follow the basic precepts of Christian faith: Jesus as deity (a "Trinity" of G-ds into one), the virginal birth, not acceptance of the Law of Moses, rejection of the Feasts of Elohim and Shabbat, etc. It is therefore importance we maintain a clear distinction between Netzarim Messianic Judaism and Gentile Christianity.

Typically, Reform Rabbis require prospective converts to take a course of study in Judaism, such as an "Introduction to Judaism" course, to participate in worship at a synagogue, and to live as a Jew for a period of time. Orthodox and Conservative rabbis require both male and female conversion candidates to immerse themselves in a ritual bath called a mikveh. This ceremony is called tevillah.

Note: Presently no other branch of Judaism will accept a Messianic Jewish conversion. Candidates must accept that Messianic Jewish Gerut probably will not give them acceptance in the Jewish community. The Supreme Court of Israel ruled in 1989 that Messianic Judaism constituted “another religion,” and that Jewish people who had become Messianic were not eligible for Aliyah under the law. “The rights of a Jew under this law and the rights of oleh (aliyah, or immigration) under the Nationality Law … are also vested in a child and a grandchild of a Jew, the spouse of a child of a Jew, and the spouse of a grandchild of a Jew.” Also, they may not be guaranteed acceptance in some Messianic Jewish circles.
