Answer 6

1 Peter 4:16
Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Answer 7

Answer 8

in peter he is kind of saying that the ones how praise and glorify God in his name, he is calling them christians

Answer 9

i am not really good at explaining my thoughts to people but those were my thoughts

Answer 10

That's very good, but where did any of them say, "I am a Christian" or "We are Christians"? I see that I need to revise my question. I originally asked it as "Where in the Bible did God or Christ refer to their people as Christians?".

Answer 11

ok sorry im researchin rn

Answer 12

Because Christian is not the name God or Jesus gave their people.

Answer 13

I'll give you the reference to the Genesis of the term Christian.

Answer 14

well the word "Christian" is mentioned many times in the bible. and telling us what we should do as christians

Answer 15

Acts 11:26. The people of Antioch (modern day Turkey) is where the disciples (prophets) were first called Chrstians. Actually Christian is only in the KJV bible three times.

Answer 16

Answer 18

Yes, really. Shocking but true.

Answer 21

I should add Revelation 21:12 to that as well

Answer 22

Romans 11:1 should be particularly interesting for you to explain. Why did Paul refer to himself as an Israelite rather than a Christian?

Answer 23

Answer 24

Okay, I look forward to your response.
