Can someone point out the clear definition of a Christian in the Bible?

People that like to claim mormons arent christian also claim they get their authority and beliefs from the Bible.


So would someone like to back up their definition of statements like, you have to believe in the trinity, you cant believe Jesus and Satan are brothers, etc etc, using the Bible?Can someone point out the clear definition of a Christian in the Bible?
That's where the Orthodox and Catholics seem to have the upper hand over Protestants. They don't rely solely upon Scripture, which can be interpreted many different ways, but upon Tradition as well. As such, it's much easier to dismiss Mormons as heretics.Can someone point out the clear definition of a Christian in the Bible?
Christians are God's chosen and special people. They are priests and kings. They have God's righteousness in Christ. They proclaim the praises of God and they walk in God's marvellous light according to the following Scripture:





1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.





God bless you.
we love jesus forever

People can and do make the bible say whatever they want it to say to their own destruction. the Spirit of Truth is not in them.
There's no clear definition of a christian in the bible. Mormons carry a different bible, they added another book which is in the 4 gospels of the new testament. Christians are the name given to people who are followers of Jesus Christ. Do mormons follow Christ's teachings?
I believe the other christians would point the mormons to the scripture that discourages ';adding to or taking away from the word';. this would put mormons in league with antichrists.
I would think that anyone who follows the teachings of Christ is a christian.

Outline of Biblical Usage 1) Christian, a follower of Christ





The word Christian is used twice in the Bible. Acts 16:28 and 1Peter 4:16.





I've been taught (but don't know where the reference is) that christian was a term given to the followers of Jesus, the Christ (anointed one). It means little christ and was meant in a derogatory fashion. If I can find the reference, I'll let you know.





EDIT: About your comment on adding to or taking away... Jesus said those words. He said until ALL is fulfilled. Since ALL has NOT been fulfilled, then it still applies today.
The strict definition of Christian practice and belief didn't happen until the Nicene Council in 325. Prior to that, Christians were still debating whether Jesus was a literary figure, a historical person, or a manifest divinity. The standardization of doctrines achieved at this conclave paved the way for the foundation of a powerful international Church with a unified message and mission.





So: in a pre-Nicene, pre-Catholic sense, sure, Mormons are Christians. That and a technological singularity will buy you eternal life in paradise.
For me , whats don't get into my mind and brain , i wont believe it and off course i will refuse it





Jesus %26amp; Satan are brothers , yeah right ;-)





I can't give you an static definition for Christian , Simply because in each holy book their was its own definition and also not a bible guy

It isn't there...





Certain Christian Clubs have issued memberships ONLY after you accept (SWEAR) to their CREED....





Jesus would have been denied membership in their club...ironic isn't it?
...this is ';easy';... The ';word'; Christian is an invented word by the ';Church';...(who ever that might be)... The Mormon ';cult'; has cleverly twisted Scripture to support their ';religious'; agenda... God(YHVH) never ever authorized the book of Mormon...the ';rants'; of Joseph Smith... Yeshua (you know Him as Jesus...His mother and His friends called Him Yeshua) clearly completed the work of God on Earth when He made a very very clear statement on The Cross... He said: ';It is finished';... Yeshua and HaSa'tan (the devil) are not brothers...
Check out Acts 11:26.
There are no deffinitions of ';Christian'; in the Bible, Why? Well for one thing, ';Jesus'; himself was never a ';Christian';, he was always a Jew. So, logically, if you wanted to follow his example, you would become Jewish!, Also, Jesus was never ';The Christ';, ';Christ'; means ';The Annointed One';, Jesus never had his head annointed by anyone, let alone by anyone with the authority to do so, nor was he ever sanctified! Jesus was never the Messiah! Why? well in order to be ';The Messiah'; he would have to be ';of the line of david';, Jesus was of the line of Aaron, so cannot, ever, have been the Messiah!
