My contention is that there was a prophetic movement within Judaism, led by the individual known as Judas the Galilean. This Jewish movement was anti animal sacrifice, but instead believed the Spirit of God could cleanse a persons spirit, and that the Spirit of God was the Lord to be obeyed. It was this movement of the Spirit that first spread to Rome due to persecution by the messianic priests and high priests who rejected Roman rule. And it was this movement that created the original documents of the NT before they were changed by later by Pauline editors.
