WHAT "XTIAN" IS NOT...
"Xtian" is NOT a shorted version of a believer &/or follower of Jesus Christ. Unlike the term "Xmas" which is offensive to many Christians (taking Christ out of Christmas), "Xtian" has a totally different meaning.
WHAT A "XTIAN" IS...
"Xtian" is term to describe people who are radical followers of Jesus Christ in word, thought and deed (they actually obey the bible and are humble & repentant about their sin & failings before a perfect & holy God; their lives center around repentance & obedience to God). It describes those who have & are still being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
DEFINITION:
Here is how the word "Xtian" breaks down...
1). the "X" in Latin is defined as 'To delete, cancel, or obliterate' (i.e. kill, crush & crucify).
2). the "tian" in Latin means 'to hold, grasp, have'.
So an "Xtian" is a believer who dies to self (gives up everything they hold & have), thru the power of Jesus Christ and radically conforms to His image; a servant/bondservant of Christ. Not by their own power but by submitting everything in their lives to Christ (even if they have to die), for His glory.
