Terms such as '''believer''' and '''born again''' are sometimes used to denote a Christian, particularly used to distinguish people who are active followers of Jesus who have a personal relationship him as opposed to people who are nominal Christians (see below).

A '''Christian ''' is a person who [[Christianity|follows ]] [[Jesus]] and has a personal and living relationship with himHim. Followers of Jesus were first called Christians in [[Antioch]] in the first century AD. Today, there are around over 2 billion people who call themselves Christians world-wideand it is the largest religion by number of followers in the world.
Some simplistic terms, many Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox , and Anglican Christians consider a person to be a Christian once [[baptism]] has taken place. Since infants are baptized in these churches, this often means that a young child can be called a Christian. Alternatively, many Protestants consider that a personal belief in Jesus as saviour defines a person as Christian. In countries where Christianity is historically the majority religion, the term is often used to describe anyone who has a vague belief in God.
