Bible Question:

Do you have any specific references of what God calls His followers? I am building a list of names that God or Jesus has called us for a Bible Study on

Bible Answer:

The Bible refers to Christians with many different names. Here is a quick and incomplete list, I am sure, from the New American Standard Bible (NASB):
