The Pharisees were a Jewish sect, or equally, a social movement among the Jews of the first centuries BCE and AD. As such, there were no qualifications, no more than there are qualifications to be counted as a Democrat or Republican in today's United States. The Pharisees did, however, emphasize certain things, and people who agreed were likely to count themselves as Pharisees: They emphasized rejection of Helenization -- don't be like the Greeks and Romans. They emphasized personal piety, daily prayer, and synagogue-centered worship. They emphasized learning and study of the Torah and the interpretive tradition surrounding the Torah. They emphasized applying the commandments of the Torah to daily life -- that is, Jewish law.
