5. Why are the brethren of Christ called Christadelphians in our day instead of Christian?

• Answer: Because multitudes are called Christian who do not believe the truth concerning Christ or obey his commandments. It has become, in fact, the name for a system of fable, and error that has risen up in the world in the place of truth, in fulfillment of the predictions of the apostles. Therefore, to be known as a "Christian" is not to be known as a believer of the truth. 2TI 4:4, ACT 20:30, 2PE 2:2, ISA 60:2, ISA 25:7, REV 17:2, REV 18:23 ⁴

“As long as you continue doing my commandments, you are my friends. I am not saying you [apostles] are slaves, because the slave has no idea what his master is doing. But I call you friends because everything I heard alongside my Father I made known to you [apostles].” (Joh 15:14-15 MHM)
