Who is a disciple? Someone who follows the teachings, philosophy, patterns and ways of a religious leader or teacher, to be considered a disciple means you might have to observe and to keep the teachings of whoever you believe in.
We have seen it that a disciple in biblical context is someone who kept the teachings of our lord Jesus Christ to observe and to do all that has been taught, like we see in the book of Mathew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matthew:28:20
First the pattern is to teach other people as They have been taught, meaning before the great commission Jesus have all through his ministry years groomed a set of men he expects to carry on his vision on earth, after thorough examination he certified them as his disciple and asked them to go make other disciples as well, by following the pattern which is first to teach.
We saw Bro Eli laying emphasis on the word "Teach" because that's the basics, like the foundation of discipleship that this person must have been taught and is also willing to follow to observe and to do as has been taught by the teacher or leader.
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts:11:26
Why were the disciples called Christians first at Antioch because they people saw that they were actually behaving like their leader Jesus Christ, acting in every way like him, so they concluded that they are actually like-Christ in their conduct, character, manner, attitude, because they actually have been with the master such check as the identity of Christ now rub off on them which qualified them to be Called Christians disciples with deeds and acts like Christ.
