From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The first known usage of the term Χριστιανός (christianos) can be found in the New Testament in Acts 11:26: "the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch." They were disciples and followers of Jesus Christ. The other two New Testament uses of the word also refer to the public identity of those who follow Jesus. The Jewish king said the Apostle Paul had almost persuaded the king "to become a Christian" (Acts 26:28). Writing in 1 Peter 4:16, The Message paraphrase, the Apostle Peter encouraged believers who are abused "because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!"

"Christian" also means a member or adherent of a church or other organized group within Christianity. As an adjective, the term may describe anything associated with or thought to be consistent with Christianity, as in "the Christian thing to do." From Wikipedia under the

I'd be inclined to just stay clear of any group using that pitch. The groups I've seen all had both an attitude problem and bad training. Basically some groups get hung up on the Buddhist concepts that some martial arts may have had at one time. Today you will not find much of that anyway so it is not an issue for those that are Christians. I myself am a Christian, but have never had a problem with my training contradicting my beliefs.
