Answer 5

it depends, in the Chrisitian faith the first recorded was Stephen. there are many other who were not recorded but lived during Bible times. Peter was crucified upside down, John of Patmos was boiled in oil, some were beheaded and some were stoned, some were put in coliseums to be eaten by lions. some were quartered, some were stabbed to death. in the first 400 years of Christianity, persecution was a way of life, and yet it became the fastest growing religion in the world and has not stopped....oops i just read your question.....LOL my dyslexia. i thought it said MARTYR..........please forgive me
