In Alma 46:12-20 we find the story of the title of liberty in which Moroni rallied his people to a standard. It states in these verses that "all the true believers of Christ, who belonged to the church of God" were called Christians by those who did not belong to the church. According to Hugh Nibley, the name and actions are described in a similar manner in the Dead Sea Scrolls. In the Dead Sea Scrolls it talks about "the peace of God in the encampments of his Saints." They call themselves the "Saints." They are coming back and organizing themselves much like Alma 46:12-20. It says here [in the Scrolls] "Ye shall write 'the peace of God in the encampment of his Saints' upon their trumpets, and they shall write 'God's mighty deeds to scatter the enemy and put to flight all the opponents of justice.'"
