 Other Messianic organizations hold to similar views.Messianic Jews practice baptism, calling it a "mikveh" ("cistern", from Leviticus 11) rather than the term "tvila" ("baptism" טבילה in the Hebrew New Testament).Some within the Ephraimite movement seek to convert themselves for identification with Israel, but most Messianic governing bodies acknowledge the presence of gentiles in the congregations, and do not see a need for them to convert to worship in the Messianic style and understanding.
