Jews for Jesus are NOT the same as Messianic Jews.

well, give a definition, or stop being a polltard.

in fact do both

Basically, a Messianic Jew follows all of the same customs, traditions, and observances as an Orthodox Jew. But they believe that Jesus is the Messiah. To my knowledge, the only difference between an Orthodox Jewish service and a Messianic Jewish service is that the latter concludes with a reading from Apostles. Crosses, crucifixes, etc. would never be found in a Messianic Jewish temple.

I may be wrong, but if you accept Jesus is the Messiah, you are by definition "Christian". No matter what customs you practice.

Exactly.

One could make the arguement that the Lubavitchers are Messianic Jews, although this is not a traditional argument. They just have a different Messiah.
