Why only in the New Testament the salvation was extended to the gentiles?
God has His times and seasons. Actually there were a few Gentiles that received salvation in the Old Testament. Rahab in the Book of Joshua was one and Ruth in the Book of Ruth was another. There were more, but this was the exception to the rule. During Jesus' time on earth more Gentiles are mentioned and then finally when the Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah it was time for the Gentile to be accepted by God on a different basis, although Salvation has always come by faith in God, God created a time when mostly Gentiles could come to Him freely and in great numbers. Salvation to the Gentiles was mentioned in the Old Testament a number of times, but the timing was God's.

Are Disciples of Christ are Jews or Gentiles?
The Disciples of Christ are Christian, from the Protestant branch of Christianity. Jewish people generally do not believe that "Christ" has come yet, and those people who do believe he came are called Christians (followers of Jesus Christ). So, the Disciples of Christ would be gentiles, since they are not Jews. It is worth noting that "Disciples of Christ" is the name of a particular church, not a general term for those who follow Christ.
Why do Mormons call non-members gentiles?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are asked to refer to those outside of the church as "friends of other faiths" or "non-members." This is because the term 'Gentile' can be negative or alienating. However, historically and in scripture, non-Mormons have been called Gentiles, following the pattern of non-Jews being called Gentiles in the Bible. They do not mean this to be a derogatory term, it is just used as a title for those who are not Mormons.
Did Jesus come already?
