First Called Christians: The Impact of Primitivism on Our Salvation

By Greg Chandler August 17, 2025

Luke records many significant firsts in the book of Acts, including the moment when Jesus’ followers were first called Christians. This account establishes a pattern that has endured for over 2,000 years. It not only provides the name for Jesus’ followers but also outlines key details for becoming and remaining a Christian. This sermon will explore how Acts 11:19–26 reveals the attitude required to become and stay a follower of Jesus. It will also show that the authority for following Jesus is found in this ancient text, which remains as relevant today as it was then.
