Jewish Christianity

Jewish Christianity is a term that can sometimes refer to Jews who become Christian (or to Christians who become Jews); but is also more commonly used to refer to an early heretical sect which believed that the Law of Moses had not been fulfilled (and therefore to continually be obeyed to earn/keep salvation).

They are condemned by the Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Galatians, and all later Jewish Christian sects rejected Paul, branding him a false apostle.
