Christ was a Jew also, but I think that we can be fairly confident in now calling Him a Christian.......THINK.

You are being willfully ignorant (or just ignorant). Being a Jew is both a religious and ethnic identity. My wife is Jewish, but also a Christian. The apostles did not stop being Jews when they were saved - they were just no longer under the Mosaic law (Old Testament) but under grace (New Testament).

And since "Christian" means "follower of Christ", Jesus couldn't actually be called a Christian, could He? He doesn't follow Himself, after all...
