They refused to admit that the work of Christ embraced the whole world. They claimed that he was the Saviour of the Hebrews alone; therefore they maintained that the Gentiles should receive circumcision before being admitted to the privileges of the church of Christ.{LP 121.3}

De nægtede at lade Kristi arbejde omfavne hele verden. De hævdede at han var Frelser for hebræerne alene, derfor fastholdt de at hedningene skulle have omskærelse før de fik Kristi kirkes privilegier.
