If you call yourself a Christian-what can I assume that you believe? If you call yourself a Christian-what can I depend on you to do? One fellow wrote to me and commented that he doesn’t think Mormons are Christians. But, you know, it’s even money that, somewhere, there is someone who wouldn’t think he is a Christian either.
Oddly, the term "Christian" was not a part of Jesus’ instructions to his disciples. He nowhere mentions the word. "Christian" was a descriptive term applied to the disciples of Jesus by non-Christians in Antioch. Over time, the followers of Jesus seemed to gradually accept the descriptor.
