I will wait until the creepy self-righteous “Messianic Jews” join the thread.
You can always tell them by their silly Hebrewish sayings, references to “Yeshuah HaMelech,” being “grafted in,” etc., and invariable tales of how they celebrate the Feast of the Golden Trumpets of Jesus, Celebration of the Unleavened Holy Spirit with Mayonnaise, and other nonsense.
They remind me of that white kid in gym class who never fit in with anybody and wasn’t smart enough to make friends so he dressed like Flava Flav and talked funny.
If you mean that Messianic Jews say they've been grafted in to Christianity, you're confused. It's the gentiles who were grafted in.

What are those things?
I tend to call them “Messy-Antics” with their quasi textual patchwork argument of a religion. It is mostly fueled by a wonderful opening of understanding of God’s awesomeness when opening your eyes to the deep meanings of the old testament.
But, and its a big but, The revelation should come with a corresponding deep personal study. Failure to do that sets you up for a BIG trap of not understanding your personal position in God’s plan. God has a plan for His people and it is clearly spelled out in the entire Bible, where the Jews and the non Jews each have a part to play, and where both houses of mankind have a role to play.
I believe that true messianics are only Jewish, not Churchianic noahihides. The Bible warns us not to crucify Christ anew by a return to the condemnation of the Law. Yet it also warns us to love the Law. That dichotomy is not studied or taught in the Messy-Antics movement because it gets in the way of the proper respect of the role Jews are to play in the future and in the quite improper role Churchianity led quasi-Christians play in trying to be Jewish.
We each have our proper roles, and true fulfillment comes from understanding and fulfillment IN those roles.
Messy-Antics is to me the spiritual equivalent of gender identity crisis issues. This is not to say that Jews are forbidden in understanding who their Messiah is. But that is a personal choice both sides must face, and not a public fad.
