No, originally all Christians were simply Jews who followed Jesus. As the religion expanded however, the question of whether or not Gentiles (non-Jews) could be followers of Christ began to make the greater distinction. Soon all followers of Christ, whether originally Jews or Gentiles, where called "The Way". It wasn't until around the end of the first century that the term "Christian" began being used.
