Hello

I would have to say the one to first PEN the words to paper. Being a Christian is to me to follow a text of teachings.

I have with me at times in Spirit a man that was a very early Christian Father in the times the word was just starting to spread. Maybe it was him who knows.

St. John the Baptist is the second Christian through an extraordinary grace of God whereby he was freed from the Original Sin at conception. In a State of Grace and with a strong (angelic intellect) character J. Baptist was second Christian through special privilege granted to Him by God.

Same is with Mary, mother of God. In this sense she is the first Christian.

The first Christian who followed Jesus immediately after His Revelation was St. John the Evangelist.

It was John the Baptist that said, "make straight the way of the Lord." John’s voice was a “lone voice in the wilderness”

John 1:23
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.

John the Baptist was the precursor for the modern day evangelist as he shared the good news of Jesus.

Mark 1

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:

“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way” —
“a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”

And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, .......

Mary is the first Christian. She was born before J. Baptist.

Luke 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Mary if full of grace. So a creature with the stain of Original Sin on him/her can not be full of grace since that grace did not purify them. That grace in her and J. Baptist case is the Sanctifying Grace granted to them before the sacraments were in effect and before Jesus' sacrifice was fulfilled.

Please provide the Scripture that states Mary confessed Jesus her son to be her Lord God, before John the Baptist.
