Subject: Distinction between Christian/disciple? |
Bible Note: Hello Hank! Thank you also for your response! I am of the same opinion- that there is no Biblical distinction between describing yourself as a "Christian" verses a "disciple of Christ".. You know, this topic could possibly have a 'reverse' meaning as well: I am thinking of 1 John 2:4-6, where it says, "Any man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.." So, if those who call themselves "Christians," but don't really mean that they are actually committed disciples of Christ may find this verse (1 John 2:4-6) as very hard to swallow.. As for the 'Engle scale,' believe it or not, this is the first time that I am hearing of it! But, I agree with you: Paul and Silas didn't put the Philippian jailer through the Engle scale, and neither did Paul subject Agrippa to such a scale in Acts 26:28 (I am sure that Paul would have not forgotten it.. :) ).. And Philip did not give such a 'scale' to the eunuch in Acts 8:27-40 either.. So, I'm of a like mind on this subject as you are, my friend! As always, it is great to talk to you! Wife and baby on the way are doing well. Please keep me and Katie in your prayers, as we are moving to a townhouse on June 30th and expecting our little girl on August 13th. Bless you for your prayers! May the Lord continue to richly bless you, Makarios |
