From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The first known usage of the term Χριστιανός (christianos) can be found in the New Testament in Acts 11:26: "the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch." They were disciples and followers of Jesus Christ. The other two New Testament uses of the word also refer to the public identity of those who follow Jesus. The Jewish king said the Apostle Paul had almost persuaded the king "to become a Christian" (Acts 26:28). Writing in 1 Peter 4:16, The Message paraphrase, the Apostle Peter encouraged believers who are abused "because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!" The earliest recorded use of the term outside the Bible was when Tacitus recorded that Nero blamed the "Christians" for the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. "Christian" also means a member or adherent of a church or other organized group within Christianity. As an adjective, the term may describe anything associated with or thought to be consistent with Christianity, as in "the Christian thing to do." From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Does christian children fund try to convert the children and their families? Q. I have been thinking of sponsering a child for a while. I am wondering if Christian Children's fund tries to covert. If so, what other sponsership programs are there that DO NOt try to convert, and are trustworthy and safe to donate through? Asked by kiss_kiss_xox - Sun Oct 14 21:51:41 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have been a sponsor with CCF for 20 years and they DO NOT try and convert. Those who said that they do simply do not know what they are talking about. I would not give CCF money if they were evangelizing. CCF was originally formed by Christian missionaries in 1938 and that is where the name originates. However, they are now a private nonsectarian organization. Christian Children's Fund provides help to children regardless of race, religion, or gender. They respect the cultural heritage, personal pride and dignity of the families that they assist. Another great organization that allows you to sponsors kids is Save the Children, which works both in the U.S. and internationally - Answered by Theresa - Mon Oct 15 09:26:04 2007 What is a christian conservative? Is that someone who believes in the old testament? Q.

Q. How would you go about doing it? Would you need a theological degree from a Christian school? How much money would you need? Would you be labeled as a cult at first because of your size? Asked by Ask - Mon May 4 14:28:01 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. A. We don't need another Christian denomination! What we need are more disciples... people whose hearts and minds are turned from sin and self that they may serve God and the needs of others to the glory of the author and finisher of our faith... Jesus Christ! After Jesus' death, those who believed that He was the Son of God sent down to atone for the sins of the world were simply referred to as followers of "the way". As we read through the New Testament, we never see scripture writers refer to themselves as members of a denominational group i.e. "a Catholic", "a Baptist", "a Presbyterian" etc. because denominations didn't exist. What we do see are believers who refer to themselves as "a disciple", "an apostle" or "a follower" of christ!… [cont.] Answered by FIJC Mininsties - Tue May 5 07:26:39 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Christian" From Wikiquote under the GNU Free Documentation License.
