The first time 'Christian' was used in The Bible is Acts 26:28 when Paul is speaking with King Agripa and Agripa says "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian" Then in Peter 4:16 Peter refers to 'Suffering as a Christian' But.. in Acts 11:26 it says that Christians where first called so in Antioch: "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

No.... they were called Messianic not Christians. Sorry but there are absolutely no references in the Bible to the term Christians. Those who followed Yeshua (Jesus) after His ascension were called Followers of The Way...Messianic but its not in the Bible
