I think that a Jewish Christian is a person of Jewish heritage, but believes that Jesus Christ is the messiah.
Remember, "Jewish" can indicate either a religious affiliation, or an ethnic group. In this context, "Jewish Christian" would refer to an ethnic group, and would be similar in use to something like "Chinese Christian" or "Arab Christian".

As far as I'm aware, nearly all converts to Christianity from Judaism (and their descendants) call themselves, quite simply, Christians. Names like Jewish Christians suggest ambiguity or even that they want the best of both worlds, so to speak. That said, there is a small sect that somehow tries to do just that.
