Some of them, at last.
The followers of Revelation and gJohn.
It seems that Paul was not a friend of the followers of Revelation and gJohn.

Do we get to see some evidence?

John sends messages to seven (magic number) churches of Asia (Rev 1:4, and Rev 1:11), Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. It is surprising that John never speaks of Antioch, Perga in Pamphylia, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe in Lycaonia, which were places where Paul preached. Inversely Paul never speaks of Smyrna, Pergamum, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The only places quoted simultaneously by John and Paul are Ephesus and Thyatira (Acts 18, 19, 20).
