Acts 11:26 " And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people, and the disciple were called Christians first in Antioch."
Are you a Christian? Many profess to be like Christ, but do others call you a Christian or is it a name you give yourself. Does the life you show the world reflect the content, character, love, caring, and purpose of Christ? Are you a Christian because it's what your talk says or is it what your walk displays.
There is a responsibility which comes with professing to be Christ like. Paul says we blaspheme the name of God to the gentiles, by the way we live our lives. We can't profess to like one with all power then live a powerless life. We must be careful as we walk professing to be made free from sin and yet continue to live a life full of sin. Jesus said He has all power, even power over all flesh, yet we live a defeated life as we surrender to the weakness of the flesh instead of holding to the willingness of the spirit.
The scripture says that Barnabus was a good man, full of the Holy ghost and of faith, it tell us that Barnabas, and Saul(Paul) came to Antioch. they assembled themselves to the church and taught the people. So this tells me that a Christ like person is a good person, full of the holy spirit and a person of faith who teaches others and is a part of the church. Ask yourself, is this the person the world sees in you?
