Christians are refered to as the bride, here John identifies himself as the Friend of the Bridegroom, not the bride. Christians first show up (acts 10) way after the time of John's death. He is in the same group as the OT saints who were obviously not Christians.

Though the word Christian was not coined until the book of Acts, there can be no question that John was a sold out servant of Jesus Christ. In my book, he was a Christian before there were Christians.
That may not make sense to some, but it does to me, considering what a Christian is and does.
