Christ Followers

Very well said, milkmandog!

"Christ Follower" has my vote. It's very much in keeping with Rev. 12:17

Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

So anybody who keeps the commandments of God and strives to be like Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions is of her offspring, or, a Chrsit Follower. There are 3 main ways to interpret who the woman is, and I think all of them carry weight, and many things in Rev. have more than one meaning. I would love to unpack this verse even further, but I would be way off topic.

The whole church, or People of God, or Christ Followers, is strengthened by focusing on what things that unite us. That is more in keeping with the Gospel, rather than gouging each others eyes out over what divides us. The Baptist concern for individual salvation needs to be treasured as a great contribution to humanity.
