Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrownFlush" data-source="post: 4790506" data-attributes="member: 65823">The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch ( Acts 11:26)The short answer to the definition that the New Testament gives for who a Christian is, is one who is begotten by the word of God through obedience to the truth (I Pet. 1:3, 22-25). He becomes obedient to the Christ (Heb. 5:8-9) in believing, repenting of sins, confessing the name of Jesus, and being immersed in His name for the remission of sins (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16, Rom. 10:10, Acts 2:38) . No one who has failed to render obedience can properly be called a Christian according to New Testament teaching.</blockquote>
