Pauline Christianity is a term used to refer a branch of Early Christianity associated with the beliefs and doctrines espoused by Paul the Apostle through his writings. Most of mainstream Christianity relies heavily on these teachings and considers them to be amplifications and explanations of the teachings of Jesus. Others perceive in Paul's writings teachings that are radically different from the original teachings of Jesus documented in the canonical gospels, early Acts and the rest of the New Testament, such as the Epistle of James.Proponents of the perceived Pauline distinctive include Marcion of Sinope, the 2nd century theologian who asserted that Paul was the only apostle who had rightly understood the new message of salvation as delivered by Christ.
Opponents of the same era include the Ebionites and Nazarenes, who rejected Paul for straying from "normative" Judaism.

I recommend you and the reader of this post to do an extensive research of NT and Pauls doctrines in the below website (and learn what the followers of Ribi Yehoshua – the Netzarim - said about Paul) to find about its origin.
