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 Jews call gentiles sinners?

Gentiles who sin are sinners, just as are Jews who sin. Gentiles are not considered to be sinners if they violate a prohibition only incumbent upon Jews, such as cutting themselves in mourning for a dead relative (as opposed to for idolatry).


What is the difference between Christians and gentiles?

Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
