Christian? What Does This Have To Do With the Name The name itself is mentioned three times in Scripture (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16) and… Directly or indirectly refers to individuals who had exhibited a particular lifestyle A specific allegiance to another (Christ), A commitment to a unique teaching. Name is special because of Isaiah 62:2

Christian? The Name It provides identity- Acts 4:13 It identifies us with a group- Acts 2:47 It describes our character- 1 Peter 2:12,15,16 It provides direction- Acts 9:12; 16;17 Do these things mean we never make mistakes? Do we think we are perfect?
