+3 No it's not biblical to say that. . The disciples were followers of Jesus, selected by him. In the earliest of the gopsels (Mark) the disciples never really believe that Jesus is actually God (or part of God). It's only when you get to the last gospel (John circa 95+ AD) that the concept of Jesus being part of God is actually firmed up as an idea. This is circa 60 years after Jesus supposedly died and probably well after the deaths of most or all of the disciples. . Being a follower means exactly what it says. It is somebody that followed Jesus or followed his teachings. Jesus never taught that he was God or part of God. . Being a believer is to believe in Jesus, something that he himself supposedly did teach. However, as stated previously, he never taught that he was God or part of God.

no, thats a journey that comes with TIME and STUDY...if u BELIEVE HIM as the world's Savior....the rest will come...as u SEEK, KNOCK, and keep following and learning...thats what a disciple is ..a student...it is most UNBIBLICAL and JUDGEMENTAL....to make a Believer stumble and has DIRE consequences.....Jesus said so, not to make fun of anothers WAYS , (eats,dress,practices) as long as doing in HIS NAME...it can BRING OTHERS.....by example...;)
