A Christian is a person who follows Jesus and has a personal and living relationship with him. Followers of Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch in the first century AD. Today, there are around 2 billion people who call themselves Christians world-wide.
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.
