Subject: Distinction between Christian/disciple? |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, Thank you for your response! I read your post (#153858), which was very good.. My wife and I were studying with a group at Trader's Point Christian Church here in Indy, and we discussed this topic in a group.. I am in favor of there being no distinction between saying that you are a Christian and saying that you are a 'disciple,' since of the 3 places where the word "Christian" is mentioned in the NT (Acts 11:26, 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16), the word "Christian" is used virtually interchangeably with describing believers, or disciples. But others were of the idea that a 'disciple' of Christ is a "more committed" Christian, per se.. I attempted to describe the Christian walk as a journey that starts at conversion, and the saved person is called a "Christian" throughout the entire journey, but I believe that some of that reasoning probably fell on deaf ears.. :) Thank you for your 2 cents!
