Acts 11:26 ” The Disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”

For the early Church, the label “Christian” was anything but a compliment.  It was actually a derogatory name given to mock and ridicule Believers by others.  Thus the Disciples and other Followers of the Way did not use this term to identify themselves.
