Anybody could become a Christian. You didn't have to have wealth. And in a sense, it is promising to people that join it, eternal life and salvation if they wash themselves of sins. Now following the death of Jesus of Nazareth, you're also going to have further Jewish rebellions. There's a Jewish rebellion in Judea in the year 70 and 130, where the Romans are going to crush the Jews. They're going to kill over a million of them and eventually exile all of the Jews out of that land of Judea. Now we also have the persecution of Christians.
