Christian or Disciple

When Jesus says to go and make disciples, what exactly does that mean?

What does that entail?

Is there a difference between a disciple and a Christian?

Can you be a Christian and not be a disciple?

We seem to have developed in this nation and unbiblical idea that we can be a Christian and not be a disciple. The idea is that we can trust Christ for forgiveness of our sin and be assured of life forever with Jesus after our life on this world is over. Trying to focus on the benefits of receiving Jesus, but not relinquish one's life to follow Jesus. So the view here is that just a Christian does not have to follow Jesus, but that a disciple is one that does follow Jesus. Is there a difference?
