That's not my job, I'm to witness and contend for the faith and it is up to God to give the increase if it's His will or His will may be to harden !
You need to be concerned about yourself. Im witnessing to the fact that He shall save His people from their sins.
So you don't know who HIS people are, not even if your one of them?
I can help you, anyone who obeys and get reborn, believe, repent, baptized in JESUS name and JESUS fills them with HIS spirit is HIS people.
Those who don't are not HIS people.
Jesus Christ came specifically to save a special peculiar people that belonged to Him Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Yes it was for His peculiar people He came to save. Titus 2:12
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem/save us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
The word peculiar is the greek word periousios:
that which is one's own, belonging to one's possessions
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The word peculiar is the greek word periousios:
that which is one's own, belonging to one's possessions
- a people selected by God from the other nations for his own possession
LOL, just as I said, anyone who obeys HIM and gets baptized in HIS name to remove their sins, then when HE'S ready and fills them with the Holy Ghost like in Acts 2:4.
Evidence, the ones who was responsible for HIM being hung on the cross was the first ones to be reborn and 3 thousand souls were added. Acts 2:41.
Jerusalem’s Enemies to Be Destroyed
12 A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.
The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.’
6 “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
7 “The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will shieldthose who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblestamong them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lordgoing before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit[a] of grace and supplication. They will look on[b] me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.
Cleansing From Sin
13 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idolsfrom the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the Lord Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. 3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told liesin the Lord’s name.’ Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies.
4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive.5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth.[a]’6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[b]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered
7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.
9 This third I will put into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
and I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”
The Lord Comes and Reigns
14 A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake[a] in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth.
Chapters 12 & 13 set the stage for your intended point, with 14:9 explaining it the best.
My question was,
"So you don't know who HIS people are, not even if your one of them?"
My question should have been,
So you don't know who HIS sheep are, not ever if your one of them?
Who are His People in Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
The seed of Abraham that belong to Him Gal 3:29
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
They are the heirs spoken of here Heb 1:14
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Heb 6:17
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 6
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The His People in Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
are the people in Isa 42:6
6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
And this particular people includes Gentiles ! 6

Since we have the gentiles being mentioned in the passage Isa 42:6 we can better understand why Jesus said in Jn 10:16
16 And other sheep[Gentiles I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Gentiles are part of the Covenant People, of the people Christ was given for a covenant of the people. 6b

His People that He SHALL save from their sins, are all of the many He represented Rom 5:19
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one[Jesus] shall many be made righteous.
To make or be made righteous is another way of saying to save them from their sins. 7
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one[Jesus] shall many be made righteous.
To make or be made righteous is another way of saying to save them from their sins. 7
His People that He shall save from their sins, its not limited, restricted to ethnic jews as its falsely taught by many today, but does include some Gentiles, or people of all ethnicities. Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now Paul writing to a gentile church in Thessalonica writes 1 Thess 1:10
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Whose the us Jesus delivered from the wrath to come ? Its His People of Matt 1:21 Its the very same Jesus ! Its the very same His People. Arent the gentile Thessalonians referred to as Gods Elect ? 1 Thess 1:4
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
So the saving of Jesus people from their sins, and consequently from the wrath of God, is fulfilled with saving, delivering these chosen Gentiles from their sins, and the ensuing wrath to come ! 7

Therefore He regenerates them He comes to save, according to the Promise. The Promise again is that He shall save His People from their sins Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now part of His Saving Work as Saviour is the washing of regeneration Titus 3:5-6
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
These are His People. Titus 2:14
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Notice they are a peculiar people which means:
So regenerating them is a must in fulfilling the promise that He shall save His People from their sins ! 7
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Its a positive promise that Jesus will shall save His People from their sins !
Matt 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
His people are all who belong to Him Gal 3:29
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
And Christ Jesus came to save sinners, not make it possible 1 Tim 1:15,13
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
To save sinners like He saved the Apostle Paul, in fact that's what hes writing of in the above scripture, how He was saved from blaspheming, and persecuting and unbelief and ignorance
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
And how Christ saved Zacchaeus Lk 19:2-10
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
You see how Christ came to seek and to save Paul and Zacchaeus, that's how He saves in one fashion or another each of them He came to save from their sins. 7
