I've always had a question.

So Jews for Jesus retain their ethnicity of being Jewish obviously, but are they then considered Christians for accepting Christ as Savior, Son?

Other words they're former Jews who're now Christians?

On another note how do Ordinary Jews feel about Jesus Christ?

I've heard two different stories.. some of my Jewish friends tell me that the Christ we believe in is regarded as a fake to them and that the real Christ has yet to come, and one of my Jewish friends says our Christ is just a prophet to them not Son of God.

What's the truth?

The truth of all this is represented very well in both the Old and New Testaments commonly referred to as the Christian Bible.

It depends on who you talk to... Given the fact that if you ask 3 Jews a question on faith or religion, you'll at least 4 different answers, there is no "truth" (or for that matter "Truth") when it comes to your question.

No. They're (ethnically) Jewish Christians, just as Peter, Paul, Mark, Matthew, et. al. were.

The Muslims also believe this.
