These were Christians who believed that gentile followers of Jesus needed to become Jewish proselytes and observe the requirements of Judaism.

Who were originally of the Pharisaic sect and still considered their allegiance to the beliefs of the sect for salvation rather than the the sacrifice of Christ.

Act 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

The term Judaizers continues long into the third century - long after Acts.

It even continues until today.

I believe you are correct in that I painted you with too broad a brush. I was lumping you in with the Messianic Jews. And I don't think you belong there.

My apologies.
