The first Christians were Jews who believed that Jesus was the promised second messiah of the Jews, spread the word only to the Jews and observed the Jewish law and rituals. Paul the Apostle differentiated Christianity from Judaism and made it a religion open to the gentiles (non-Jews). He argued that salvation rested on faith in Jesus and not in the observance of (Jewish) laws and rituals. He said that it was this faith which enabled the believer to live free of sin and that Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection opened the door to salvation to all humans.
Christianity was preached around the Roman Empire and at the beginning particularly in its eastern part. The educated elites in this part of the empire were Greeks or Greek speakers. The earliest Christian theology was Greek. The first translation of the testaments for Hebrew and Aramaic were in Greek.
Two main forms of Christianity became the main and mainstream forms of Christianity in the Roman Empire. One was the theology of the Eastern or Greek Church and the other was the theology of the Western or Latin Church. The former was the main Christian church in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main church of the western part. Later they came to be called Orthodox and Catholic respectively. There were also dissident Christian doctrines, the most important of which was Arian Christianity.
