If we, as Christians, have accepted the Christ as our Saviour, and so have Messianic Jews, why are they still called "Jews"?

Because..............Bottom line is this.
ALL Christians are Jews. OK?
why?
Jesus Christ made salvation possible for everyone. Not just the Chosen Jews. How did He do this?
we are ALL "Spiritual Jews" through Christ in baptism and will inherit the New Spiritual Jerusalem in the New Spiritual Kingdom :)
Old Testament Jews are just that. They live the old Testament Teachings. They are not believer's that accept the TRUTH that Jesus is THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH. Old Testament Jews are waitng for the Messiah's FIRST coming. What Jews think is the FIRST coming, is actually the 2nd coming. The Rapture.
New Testament Jews, believe this. {Jews WERE the chosen people, in the Old Testament. In the Old testament, Jews were the only people that could go to heaven. IT'S THE "NEW TESTAMENT JEWS" THAT ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE NOW. JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW OF MOSES. THE CHRISTIAN AGE STARTED ACTS.CH.2:38 THE DAY OF PENTACOST. "THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THEM". JESUS SAID: I WILL SEND "THE HELPER".
TODAY, ISRAEL IS THE CHOSEN LAND,{ SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM} ONLY "SPIRITUAL JEWS" CAN INHERIT THE NEW SPIIRITUAL KINGDOM} THROUGH THE SPIRITUAL MESSIAH, JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS CHRIST'S FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, BECAME EFFECTIVE AT ACTS.CH.2 NOW. "ALL PEOPLE" OF EVERY RACE, CAN GO T0O HEAVEN BECAUSE WE ARE ALL "SPIRITUAL JEWS THROUGH CHRIST".
ONLY "SPIRITUAL JEWS" WILL GO TO HEAVEN. THATS "ANYONE" WHO ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST AS THEY'RE SAVIOR.
Christians are the only New Testament Jews. (Spirtual Jews) through Christ. Gal. ch.3:27-29
This is why...there is so much hatred and fighting going on the the world.
There is a WAR going on. It's NOT a war of man vs man. It's God Jehovah vs Satan.
That's how. :)
wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo

The Messianic jew will still practice certain jewish traditions, adhere to commitments etc and if your mother was jewish then you'll always technically be a jew, even if you're an atheist. The whole "jews for jesus" thing is a worrying movement backed by Christian extremists to Christianify jews- some say they would rather convert one jew than 30,000 gentiles.

Once a Jew, always a Jew. Or at least I was told. Christians would be what the Jews call a Gentile.

Messianic Jews still adhere closely to Mosaic law and other aspects of Judaism. They love Jesus but they hate pork.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

The title "jew" is kept primarily to lure other jews into converting to christianity (and to help ease the minds of those who already have).
