I wonder if "Sabbatarian" is the right word for this belief. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church uses "Sabbatarian" in only one sense - those puritans in England and, especially, Scotland who hold very strict views on observance of the Sabbath (but have no judaizing tendency).

Maybe "Shabbatism" is a better translation of "szombatosság"? Maproom (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I was asked to come here, but I'm afraid I have not heard of this group before, actually. Until I read the article, I had them mixed up with the Sabbateans for some reason. I would favor going with "Shabbatarian" (to emphasize the Judaizing practices in addition) but the sources tend to give "Sabbatarian" as the English translation, and I cannot find any sources for "Shabbatarian," (regular Google searches only give a few Messianic Jewish chat sites), Google books does feature more sources for "Sabbatarian". Because of this I cannot support the change (despite making sense), since it would be original research. As I was previously uninvolved, I will remain uninvolved though, even if consensus otherwise goes against my view. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:17, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
