How do we identify ourselves? By a church group? Or by Jesus Christ.
Acts 11:26 And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
***
The apostle Paul says:
I Corinthians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Therefore, we think of ourselves as Christians, belonging to Jesus Christ, The Word, rather than to a church group.
