I just finished reading quite a bit about Messianic Prophecy. I'm not sure I totally understand the difference between a Messianic Jew and somebody who is involved in Jews for Jesus. And why don't they all just say they're Christians?

the main difference between jews and christians is just the belief that jesus was the messiah, christians believe it and jews do not because he did not fulfill the prophecies laid out for the messiah, but christians believe he will fulfill them when he comes back to chill with us again.

That's true of Jews who don't believe in Messianic Prophecy. But, the Messianic Jews and Jews for Jesus, what is it that stops them from fully becoming Chrisitians?

Well basically the jews do classify jews for jesus as christians. They call themselves jews for jesus because they believe in the funamental principles of christianity which is the holy trinity and that belief in jesus as messiah is a fulfillment of the prophecies of Hebrew scripture. So they believe they are the true jews. So they consider themselves still to be jews but they believe that christ is the messiah.
