Christiananity: Read Acts 11:26 it says that as followers of Jesus Christ, there in the Church of Antioch we were first given the name "Christians" which means followers of Jesus Christ. . This is all around 52-54 AD Jesus died in 33 AD and Pentecost would have been in early May that year (passover was April 3). Many put Pentecost as the beginning of Christianity since this is when the Holy Spirit came as promised by Jesus. Certainly they were not named Christians till later, but Christianity began before the name was applied. They were focused on witnessing to Jesus Christ, not on their name.
