What is most important to a true follower of Christ is the meaning of the term Christian as defined in the scriptures and how to embody the qualities of a Christian. Seeing through the eyes of Jehovah/Yahweh and not the heathen is a requirement for overcoming sin.
John 9:39-41 King James Version (KJV)
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
The term Christian has been polluted by those calling themselves Christian.
Ezekiel 7:20-22 King James Version (KJV)
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Romans 1:23-25 King James Version (KJV)
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
The Bible is not a dictionary.
The word Christian is never defined in the Bible.
The Bible never defines any word.
The inescapable and undeniable reality is that the English word "Christian" is understood to mean, among other things, a person who either doesn't keep the Torah or who even specifically denies the need to keep Torah.
Hence, if you want to advertize that you do not keep Torah, you can call yourself a Christian in public. But if you don't want to give that impression to everyone hearing you, then say something else.
The relevance of words is not "definition" but communication.
Gay just means happy. But if you want to say you are happy, you will not use that word, unless you WANT to be misunderstood !
