In John 10:16, who are the OTHER SHEEP in Jesus fold?
STATEMENT:
Jesus also said that he has sheep of another fold but during his ministry it was not yet time to be fulfilled to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles and Cornelius and his entire family received the Holy Ghost.
ANSWER:
Cornelius and his family were saved under the Kingdom program because they received and believed that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God, Act 10:36,42–43. The focus of Peter’s message and the offer of salvation pertained to the identity of Christ, not to the significance of the cross and justification by faith (aka: the Grace program). Furthermore, this Gentile household received the Holy Spirit and got water baptized, which is not conditions required in the Garce gospel. So, the point I make here is that we are still in the Kingdom program here, not in the Grace program, and Cornelius and his family were added to Israel’s kingdom and to the sheepfold of the Good Shepherd.
Now, concerning the “Other Sheep”. Who are they? Let’s see what the bible says about it.
