We find the expression believer/s 11 times in the NASB all in the New Testament. I've pasted them here: (Act 5:14) And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number, (Act 10:45) All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. (Act 16:1) Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, (2Co 6:15) Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? (Gal 3:9) So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. (1Th 1:7) so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. (1Th 2:10) You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers; (1Ti 4:10) For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. (1Ti 5:16) If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed. (1Ti 6:2) Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles. (1Pe 1:21) who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. It would appear that because Abraham is called a believer in Gal 3:9 that the term has to include faithful Old Testament Jews; those who died in friendship with God having fully accepted the partial revelation of pre-Christian Judaism. My opinion is that the terms Christian and believers mean exactly the same thing concerning those people alive today. What else are you getting at? There are the God-fearer types such as Cornelius: Act 10:22 ...a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man...' And there are the demons who believe: Jam 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. Indeed all men believe in their deepest places that there is a God Rom 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who SUPPRESS THE TRUTH in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Neither of these 3 latter groups can rightfully be called believers in a biblical sense. |
