They indicate how we are to make disciples. The term is equal to Christian. In the book of Acts , it refers to those who confess Jesus as the Christ.
Discipleship suggests the idea of total attachment to someone.
Disciples are people who are committed to making Jesus the Lord of their life. Disciples are eager to use their spiritual gifts to advance God's kingdom because Christ's love motivates them to do so. They have been born again by the Holy Spirit. Because they are new creatures in Christ, they will have characteristics that the world will recognize as different from their own. They will not be perfect.
