Bondman, and the rest of the gang, I hope you do not mind my sharing a study in which I am trying so hard to follow myself...

WHAT IS A DISCIPLE?

1. A disciple is a believer.
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." Acts 16:31

2. A disciple is a follower.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24

3.A disciple is a learner.
31To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32

4. A disciple is a witness.
Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you." Mark 5:19

5. A disciple is baptized.
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

6. A disciple is a re-producer
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

7. A disciple should have a healthy balance between evangelism and discipleship. Teaching and training.
