GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Christians
See also Disciple; Saint

A name given to believers in Jesus Christ. Although this term is commonly used throughout the world, the Lord has designated true followers of Christ as Saints (Acts 9: 13, 32, 41; 1 Cor. 1: 2; D&C 115: 4).

The disciples were called Christians, Acts 11: 26. If any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, 1 Pet. 4: 16. Because of the covenant ye shall be called the children of Christ, Mosiah 5: 7. True believers were called Christians by those who were not members of the Church, Alma 46: 13-16.
