That is all a far cry from the beliefs of Judaism. The central belief of Judaism is the absolute unity and singularity of God. Judaism does not believe in Messiah as "savior" and Jews do not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Furthermore, Judaism forbids the worship of a person as a form of idolatry.
As do I, Jewish organizations and the Supreme Court of Israel consider Messianic Judaism to be a form of Christianity.

Is there some kind of associated ritual? Seems to me that if they accept that Jesus was the messiah and don't ritualize that in some regard, then it really doesn't mean all that much, especially if these folks still appear at temple.
I didn't know there was a confusion here. I guess that's the problem in semantics when the faith thing is also a blood thing.
