Pilgrim, <br><br>Thanks as always and I agree with you, Seems like I almost always do. Hopefully, this will not start a kerfluffle. It appears pretty straightforward. <br><br><br>Someone, who comes from the continental Reformed thought (I think), made the statement that the four times the word, Christian, is used in the NT that it referred to Christians in the covenant, not regenerate Christians. <br><br>At Antioch in Acts I think it refers to Christians in essence; however, their probably were some unregenerates there. Then, with King Agrippa. Sure, he might have converted to be a nominal Christian, but I think in both of these cases the writers were thinking of those being born again.
