If you believe and trust in Jesus Christ as the son of God and Saviour who was sacrificed for you sins, you are a son of God and a Christian regardless of what else you call yourself. And by the same token, he who rejects Jesus as the son of God and Saviour of the world is an antichrist!

definition christian? ....Acts 11:26 ----So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people.The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. <<<disciple>>>......The term "disciple" comes to us in English from a Latin root. Its basic meaning is "learner" or "pupil." In the Greek world the word "disciple" normally referred to an adherent of a particular teacher or religious/philosophical school. It was the task of the disciple to learn, study, and pass along the sayings and teachings of the master. In rabbinic Judaism the term "disciple" referred to one who was committed to the interpretations of Scripture and religious tradition given him by the master or rabbi. Through a process of learning which would include a set meeting time and such pedagogical methods as question and answer, instruction, repetition, and memorization, the disciple would become increasingly devoted to the master and the master's teachings. In time, the disciple would, likewise, pass on the traditions to others. (Robert Sloan) a christian is a follower or Christ, now, most learned one, are you going to tell us that one who calls himself a Baptist, or a Lutheran, etc cannot be a Christian?
