Shalom!
I am just completely entranced by the Messianic and Jewish people of this world and have been wanting to learn more about the possibility of converting over to Messianic Judaism. As far as I know I am considered a Gentile but am unsure about my ancestry. Do I have to have any Jewish blood in me to convert? PM me please to get things cleared up.
In Yeshua,

There is no formal conversion ritural for becoming a messianic believer and many of the posters here are in fact gentiles.
A few questions if I may:
What exactly "entrances" you about messianic belief?
Have you read the information this forum provides about messianic beliefs and practices?
Are you aware that there is a downside to messianic belief - mostly that it opens you up to critisim and down right hatred from both christians and jews?
Are you drawn to keep the commandments of G-d, i.e. Torah?
Not trying to discourage you, just trying to find out your level of interest and knowledge on the subject.

Not all encounters are full of hatred, the Lord can move you through to those who are like you, searching for the truth. In these cases, it is as exciting as your own journey to learn the truth, all the way, and follow it. We all, here, have wandering through the scripture, wandered through the churches, wander out loud and in our heart about where does the Lord want us to be. We too, have been lead here. When I first arrived some nine months ago, I was welcome with not you must....... but welcome home. So I too will pass on the greeting to a fellow sojourner in the Lord... WELCOME HOME. There is no coversion rituals, no doctrine that you absolutely have to, just conviction that the Lord gives you. We are sincere believers with heart felt desire to serve Him who can lead us to safety in His salvation. We are to be considerate of where we are spiritually, doctrinally, and on convictions. We know it is the Lord's job to convict, it is our to witness and give testamony where and how the Lord has lead us. While we have posted a foundation in the FAQ section for you to get a clearer understanding of where we are and how we have come this far, remember the journey is not over when it comes to walking in the light. Those are only guide posts that we have found secured in the Word to give anyone interested a good start on the path of righteousness. May your walk be done as the Holy Spirit leads, not as someone else dictates. You are not saved by works, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of the Lord when you follow Him. The scriptures are our guide, the Holy Spirit our interpreter, and learning to walk in the kingdom to come is our goal.

You have not really experienced true worship and Joy in the Lord until you have celebrated with the Messianics with song and dance. It is deep and calls up the depth of the heart plea of the Fathers of the faith. And the Music is scripture put to song.
This is my opinion of course. But I believe you will be so blessed every day as you become part of the ancient family of God and share in her promises and covenants.
Shalom,
