The first time the term 'Christian' is used to describe the followers of Jesus Christ is after His death, resurrection and ascension in Acts 11:26 for those in Antioch. Before this, they were called The Way by some and while Jesus was establishing His Church, He personally called His 12 Apostles and various disciples.
