How about this choice set: the Bible was written by people who continued to distinguish between Jews and 'ethnoi'? I know Paul said, "Neither Jew nor Greek" but he also said "Neither male nor female" and then admonished wives to obey husbands, and said "Neither slave nor free" then admonished slaves to obey masters.
And Paul said, "All the churches of the gentiles" in Romans 16:4. If there were no more 'ethnoi' after believing in Jesus, why then call them that? The term is used consistently throughout the NT, from the gospels to the Apocalypse, and it builds on consistent usage in the LXX. No need for acrobatics to fit your theology. The Greek word in Rom 16:4 is 'ethnon' = gentiles.
