Please excuse my being late to this conversation
If the only difference is extra oil, why then does Jesus say He does not know them?
"Them" being the five foolish virgins
They are shut out of the wedding feast. That seems a pretty significant difference....
10 b Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
11 Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
12 But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ From Matthew 25
Immediately following the parable of the ten virgins is the parable of the talents.
Jesus starts that parable by saying, "For it is just like a man going on a journey,"
Three servants were given his possessions to look after while their Master was away...
Two were rewarded for investing wisely, but to the third who had not, the Master said:
29 'For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one
who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 30 And throw that
worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
