Acts 2:1-4 KJV And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Rotherham And, when the day of pentecost was filling up the number of days they were all together with one intent;— When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind,and it filled all the house where they were sitting; And there appeared unto them—parting asunder—tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them; And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.

Acts 2:47 KJV Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Rotherham Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And, the Lord, was adding them who were being saved, daily, together.

The book of Acts is God’s record to us of the rise and the expansion of the Christian church, the church of the believers who were first called followers of the way. Jesus Christ is The Way and as people followed him because he had said “I am the way”, they were called followers of the way. It’s the oldest name for believers in extent – followers of the way. Later on because they were manifesting the love of God and the greatness of the new birth, the Christ in them the hope of glory, they were called Christians – Christ-in. Because they saw Christ in them, therefore they called them Christians – Christ-in. So a Christian was to be one who was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and in their walk you could see the Christ. That’s Christian.
