And I have shown you in post #244 that there is no such thing as one becoming a sheep of Jesus.Sure and his sheep are those who enter through him, as I've already shown. You have to read the passage backward to get to your conclusion.
Here was the passage you make out to support your teaching that "whoever" can become a sheep.
John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Nothing in there that speaks of becoming a sheep nor that the man who enters the door becomes His sheep. Evidently, you just made that up.
Here's what that passage shows. Everyone else can check out for themselves. That Jesus is the door. Door of the what? The sheep. So, in verse 9, the man who enters the door, who are they? Who else but the sheep! For what door is Jesus, but the door of the sheep? And when the sheep enters the door (Jesus), what does the passage says? That's right, the sheep shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
So, again, I say, there is no such thing as becoming a sheep.
