I am talking about these two goups.... Jesus said He is praying for the ones that Father had given Him, and they are His and the Father's. Jesus also says He prays for the ones that will believe n Him through their words. So I see the one group as the people Jesus pryed for, and the "other" group Jesus did not pray for. The ones the Father gave Jesus, were the disciples that believed n Him while HE teached when He was here on earth. And the ones tht will believe on Him, even the ones today, that believe on Him through their word, also ones the Father DRAWN to Him. They are the ones that is in ONE group. The holiness of the believers when Jesus was here, and the holiness of the believers today is the SAME SANCTIFICATION.... The Same Holy Spirit in all of them.... That is why Jesus did pray for EVERY BELIEVER, and NOT for the unbelieving world.
All believers is ONE GROUP, because of the ONE Spirit they ALL HAVE. The World CANNOT recieve that Spirit, for they live in their iniquity (and also DIE IN SIN). Jesus did NOT pray for this group.
There are two groups of people here on earth, ONLY two... One group belong to Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, and the other to the world. One group is from the heavenly Kingdom, and the other from the World. Even in Jesus' days the people did not realize whom they belonged too. When the "Godly" men challenged Jesus, He said to them.... You are from your father the devil.... And they thought they had God and the God of Abraham as their father/God.
Jesus said... He has the flock of sheep that is Jew, and He has another flock of sheep, the gentiles, and this will be ONE FLOCK. Where HE is the shepard. So undrstand it perfectly.... He has His sheep, and there is no GOATS amongst His sheep, also NONE of His sheep is with another shepard.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
So the two groups is the ones that are God's and the other the children of Satan... 1 John 3 explains how to descern.
