Bible Question: Does the Bible make a distinction between being a Christian and being a disciple of Jesus?

Bible Answer: Hello, Makarios, good friend and cherished 'little brother'... Along with Doc, I don't see any distinction that Scripture makes between Christians and disciples of Christ -- or followers of Christ, or His sheep, or saints. They are all the same, that is, various phrases that are used in Scripture to describe those who have been reborn in Christ. ...... Doc mentioned the Engle Scale. I don't think much of it. Frankly, I think it, along with any other theoretical point systems, or "scales," are man-made contrivances that, when weighed in the balance, are found wanting! I find it ridiculous to assume that Paul and Silas led the Philippian jailer to salvation along the 10 steps of the Engle scale. The jailer wanted to know what he must do to be saved and Paul and Silas told him forthrightly what he must do. There is no record of their having led the jailer first to point 1, thence to point 2, point 3, etc. all the way to point 10 of Engles's scale. Matter of fact, I see no evidence of a soteriological point system having been used in any conversion in all of Scripture. If you want to read more about this Engle scale, which I view as useless and inane, Google the two words, Engle scale. Good to hear from you, Makarios, and blessing to you. --Hank
