Correct bro, the noun "Christian" - used three times - was a nickname coined and used by outsiders in the NT and is also in the context of use by unbelievers. Its modern connotation is of someone who has somehow "arrived" among the saved or at least "crossed the line." It's a static word lacking any sense of further progress.

The favourite title for believers in the early Church - shown in Acts - was "disciple," which is much more dynamic, implying someone who goes on learning from and following their master. It conveys the idea of being "on the way," rather than having "crossed a line." Significantly, the first title for Christian belief and behaviour was "The Way." (again, see Acts)

Well said bro.
