They are Christians pretending to be Jews so as to try and convert real Jews.

Yes, Messianic Jews have a "real" theology. It is Judaism taken into its next step -- belief that Messiah has come. Messianic Jews differ in beliefs, however. Some are completely Torah observant; others are not, chosing to instead only follow the laws given in the New Covenant by Messiah. However, most continue to worship on Saturdays. Most Messianic Jews celebrate occasions such as Passover. If you're interested, here's a Messianic Jewish Passover Haggadah:

Contrary to many outlandish claims made by those who misunderstand Messianic Judaism, these are real Jews, not Gentiles who wish they were Jews.

Their theology is the same as those who were spreading the gospel in the Book of Acts. They believe that Yeshua was the Meshiach as prophesied by the prophets in the Tonakh.

Think about it. Paul was a Messianic Jew. But in that day, it was referred to as "The Way".

Messianic Jews COULD have a real theology, but they don't.
They have Christianity with bagels.

The first million Christians were Jews.They kept the Law but believed the scriptures and Jesus fulfilled those scriptures.These guys weren't dummys a lot of them were from the priesthood and Levites.Today's "Jews for Jesus " recognize the same thing.The Gospel was for the Jew first and then the Gentile.

It is Christianity with heavy Jewish background.
I have met some of them.
They are for real.
They really love Jesus.
They are the called out of Judaism.
As the Lord calls us, He calls them also.
It goes to justify my belief that it is the Lord who saves. The Lord who calls, The Lord who Justifies, The Lord who calls.
1 Cor 1:30 But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
