Commentary on Acts 15:5
The Pharisee believers represent a significant faction within the early church who hadn't fully grasped grace. Though they believed in Christ, they maintained that Gentiles must keep 'the law of Moses' and be circumcised. This shows that theological error can persist even among genuine believers. The issue wasn't salvation by works per se, but adding requirements to Christ's finished work.
