I am not sure what the difference is. What is ID's concept of common descent?
As I myself have said, there can be a Christian form of evolution which states that God designed life so as to unfold in time.
Isn't this what most Christians believe? I certainly do.

There is no 'ID concept of common descent'. ID is not an ideology, but a methodology of looking at the world and scientific questions. So there are widely different beliefs amongst its adherents, just as there are widely different beliefs amongst those who oppose evolution here on FR.
My personal view is that there is no common descent of species and I base this on what I see in organisms - tremendous specified complexity and functional purpose. These are not qualities of matter and therefore strongly imply design. The similarities are those that we would see on any set of things made by a human designer - reuse of parts, themes and ideas.

I think so, and such a belief is incompatible with Darwinian evolution because it denies design at every point.
