Christian? is that what we are?
Joel:
Jesus called those that followed his teachings his disciples.
John 8:31-Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32-And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 15:8-Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
The believers were still calling themselves disciples in Acts 21:16 after they were called Christians in Acts 11:26.
Acts 21:16-There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mna'son of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Believers, Disciples, Christians, are what makes up the Church, as in Revelations 1-3.
Joel

whatever...
But if I would call my self a Christian, chances are good, that I get related to the 99.97% other Christians who believe something almost totally opposite from what I believe. We can stick with definitions for a long time... I suppose the one who started this subject was looking for something more practical for a day to day situation.
(Now that I think more about it. I like to think of my self as a 'truth seeker').
Ricky:
People can call themselves whatever they like. There is a big different between the Holy Scriptures from God, and the Holy Bible from man. If you don't believe the truth, you cannot belong to Christ.
