Some of the most significant events that took place during the 1st and 2nd century AD, was pentecost and St Paul's conversion. Pentecost was 50 days after the Passover. Pentecost occurred when the 12 Apostles gathered in a house, when they saw a violent wind come from heaven. It filled the area, and they saw tongues that looked like fire that separated and was above each of them. This was the first time the Apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, which allowed them to speak different tongues. One of the Apostles filled with the Spirit preached to everyone that they should be baptised and they too would be filled with the Holy Spirit. 3000 were baptised, which increased the growth of the Catholic Church as it moved many to believe and become …show more content…
Saint Stephen was one whose part played an important role. He was ordained by the apostles and became one of the seven deacons, he was also considered to be the first Christian martyr. St Stephen had many enemies as they could not argue with what he was preaching as he spoke with such wisdom and grace. His enemies came up with lies of st Stephen speaking sinfully about God. Fellow believers took part in dragging St Stephen out of Jerusalem and stoning him to …show more content…
During this time many influential people such as Saint Paul and Saint Stephen. Paul was a influence to many people who listened to him. He Influenced people to believe in Jesus because of his own experience. He was able to tell people that Jesus was real which made people believe him.

I learned a large amount of information during my research. I learned about Saint Peter’s basic biography, his accomplishments and what a brave and faithful individual he was. Saint Peter was born at around 1 AD in Bethsaida Gaulanitis. He was a fisherman that got converted into a pure disciple of Jesus. He died for Jesus and is known as the leader of the twelve disciples. In conclusion, Saint Peter was a very special person that devoted his life to make the world a better

It was Friedrich Nietzschehas who said, “What doesn’t kill you makes, you stronger”. I like to call these moments in a person’s life, “defining moments”. Additionally, I like most people, have had a few of these “defining moments”; probably more than one person should. Growing up, I had a hard time accepting one of my “won’t kill you-make you stronger” moments. It was a moment of betrayal and deceit, inflicted upon by a person I trusted fully and completely, with my life. My mother.
The leader who helped to bring in the new faith was Peter, who performed the first miraculous cure in Jesus name after the Christian Church was appointed in Jerusalem (Harris, 2015). Although not appointed leaders, there were many who were leaders of the faith in their own right, such as the first Christian Martyr, Stephen. James, who was the first of the 12 apostles to be martyred, would have also been considered a leader of the Christian beginnings. Paul and Barnabas were the missionaries that led the way to bring others into the fold of “the new way.” The author of Luke shows that while they may not have been guilty of political sedition, the changes they demanded in their converts lives’ undermined many of their values and caused many riots.
How did Christianity become a major world religion? Saint Paul had a huge impact on the development of Christianity. He spread the word of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire by visiting synagogues, preaching, and writing letters. Without Saint Paul, Christianity would not have been a major religion of the world, instead, another would have likely taken its place.
St Paul of Tarsus is a significant figure in Christianity due to his major contributions of writings and letters which form a significant amount of the New Testament. St Paul is considered to be the forefather of Christianity after Jesus. Paul had a major impact on these spread of Christianity through his mission journeys, contributing to the religious traditions and helping expand Jesus’ original teachings. The reason behind Paul being a significant person in Christianity is because he contributed to the development of Christianity.

The most important event in my life, didn’t even happen to myself, but happened to my older sister, Becky. The reason I am writing about her is because the things that have happened to her and the things she has done in the past have affected me tremendously as well as my family.

My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee.

It was something that I was not use, knowing that we stayed in a three bedroom based on an income apartment on the East side of Nashville.
