Christianity didn’t grow at first. it grew very slowly until the 4th Century when it became the Established Church of the Roman Empire. After that, it was stylish, and even required for the corrupt Byzantine court.

Acts 2:41, 47
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 5:42
Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Oops!
That darn Luke didn’t include any NAMES of these folks.
I guess they don’t count after all.
