Proselytes in general are converts simply, persons who have been recruited to another point of view or belief, usually religious, philosophical or political ^[1]. In the New Testament they are converts from heathenism to Judaism, of which there were two classes: Proselytes of the Temple, those who accepted the ceremonial law and were admitted into the inner court of The temple; and Proselytes of the Gate, who accepted only the moral law, and were admitted only into the outer court. They were a numerous class after the Dispersion, and are reckoned at hundreds of thousands.^[2]
