Two ways to address your question.
First, people who claim to be a "Jew for Jesus" are Christian.
There is no wiggle-room around this.
If you accept Jesus as the Christ and savior, then you are simply a Christian.
Second, regarding the organization "Jews for Jesus".
It uses deception to convert Jews to Christianity.
See the link for details on the dishonest practice used by this shameful group.
We Jews believe in one God and we're fine with that.
The lessons learned in Torah tell us that God accepts ALL people of ALL faiths (or lack thereof).
There is no one true way to God, as espoused by other faiths.
All paths of righteousness lead to the Creator.

This sect "Jews for Jesus" stems from the first converts of Judaism to their new found faith Christianity after Christ's ascension.
The conversion of a Jew to Chrisitanity created great grief, strife and pain to the Jewish household. Many of those Christians that converted still attended synagogue, and observed many of the Jewish customs. Christ did promise that this would bring about 'brother against brother', 'father against son', and divide families in half, but Christ promised He would not abandon us.
In regards to the current trend of Jews for Jesus; I think it is a facsimilie of the original, where else is a Jew to go? Recall that to be Jewish isn't just a religion to them (and it should be that only). The Jews identify themselves in a cultural and ethnic way through their Jewish faith, that being the center of all their identities you can help but hope for the best for those converting no matter how and in what way it's done.

They rock! It is a great ministry. Jews for Jesus brings a deep understanding of the Nation of Israel and the realization that Jesus is the promised Messiah.

I think it's wonderful and so very Biblical. There will be a remnant of Jewish people to come to Christ and their numbers are already increasing. Heard the term Messianic Jews?
We should remember to pray for Jewish people.
Thank you for asking this question!
God Bless!

The same thing I think about Christian Witches. Pick a side. You can't be both. You're either Jewish, or you're Christian. It's a nice idea, but you can't serve two religions.
