Well, I'm leading this class and calling it a discipleship class, but What is discipleship anyway? Well here are some good definitions I found from Webster's 1828 Dictionary. :) Disciple, n. [L., to learn.] 1. A learner; a scholar; one who receives or professes to receive instruction from another; 2. A follower; an adherent to the doctrines of another. Hence the constant attendants of Christ were called his disciples; and hence all Christians are called his disciples, as they profess to learn and receive his doctrines and precepts. Disciple, v.t. 1. To teach; to train, or bring up. 2. To make disciples of; to convert to doctrines or principles. This authority he employed in sending missionaries to disciple all nations. 3. To punish; to discipline. [Not in use.] |
Disciple, pp. Taught; trained; brought up; made a disciple. |
Discipleship, n. The state of a disciple or follower in doctrines and precepts. |
