what are two main reasons people had , for becoming Christians in the apostolic era?

Answer 1

They were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance.

They saw great signs and then were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in other tongues.

Every time they were filled with the Holy Ghost, they spoke in other tongues. It was the outward evidence of an inward dwelling of the Holy Ghost.

Answer 2

There is a great book that you could research your own answer by Rodney Stark called "The Rise of Christianity."

Here are three insights: One, is that Christians offered people practical help in terms of their needs for food, clothing, shelter, care of the elderly and orphans at a time when these services were not readily available nor was it believed that it was the responsibility of the government to provide such things. Second, its rituals and therefore its belief about how one participated in a relationship with God did not require ritual sacrifice with its accompanying expense, therefore many people who could not afford to participate in pagan religious rituals, could find solace and communion with God in Christian fellowship and liturgy.

One last reason might be that people found the message of a God who would take on a human nature and suffer and die for the sake of humanity to be beautiful and compelling.

Answer 3

They believed and had faith.
