    it was given at antioch shortly after christs death "christians meaning "little christs

    because CHRISTian stems from the word, CHRIST

    Not why, when...

    The first time one was singled out. "No not that one, that that Christian over there."

    Wani

    Huh?

    Followers of Christ were first called CHRISTIANS in ACTS 2:38 on the day of PENTECOST in ANTIOCH. You will never hear the church referred to by any other name as you do today. I guess the real question would be "Where did man derive all these other religions from" after the day of Pentecost and of what origin were these other churches? There was never a Baptist church mentioned in the Bible, Catholic, Holiness, Presbyterian, Methodist, and so on. I believe I will pose that question next. Thanks, MUFEEDAN.
