This is the first times the word Christian was used in the New Testament.
Acts 11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. 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.
Acts 26:28
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
1 Peter 4:16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

No, the followers were first called Christians in Antioch.
[Acts 11:26] and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
Footnote:
[1] Christians: "Christians" is first applied to the members of the community at Antioch because the Gentile members of the community enable it to stand out clearly from Judaism.

Jesus was a Jew.
Christianity came after the Crucifixion
The term Christian as used by the Romans was meant to be derogatory toward the followers of Christ.

The call "christians" is interior the Bible, in Acts. It became into first utilized in Antioch, i think of. undergo in recommendations that Jesus HIMSELF suggested that as quickly as the Holy Spirit might come, their disciples might understand some subject concerns which they weren't waiting to appreciate whilst Jesus became into nonetheless in the international. That surpassed off often in Acts. Jesus instructed the persons to worship the God of Abraham = the triune God. We see even interior the gospels human beings worshipping Jesus, and He did not say it became into incorrect ( it would be, if Jesus wasn't God himself). with regard to the circulate, some communities use it, some do not, some human beings placed it on their church homes, some do not. it is not a common simbol, besides, basically a rememberance of what Jesus did for us (it rather is erroneous, nonetheless, whilst human beings overlook that, and worship the simbol of the circulate),

It wasn't coined Christianity until after the death of Christ when his followers would go around and preach about Christ. People would see that these people were Christ-like, thus calling them Christians.
