100. There are two types of people in this world...
and you aint one o' them. (Dolly Parton)
But Jesus said that , in
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
It seems to me there are 2 types of Christians, the ones who Jesus spoke with and the ones he spoke to.
I am thinking of say, when 5000 'professed' to follow in one day, very few had a personal relationship with him. But some did.
Two types of follower, those who merely followed, and those who spoke with him.
Two types of followers, the saints, and the prophets/ pastors.
Two types , but that doesnt mean one can judge the other.
How one must feel it is impossible, that God would speak to the other.
And the other exasperated, that the one does not hear the voice.
But does that , is that, the distinction between one being taken and the other left?
Or is that the other way around?
Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
1Cr 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
1Cr 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Cr 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

I prefer to make the distinction between the two as those who were sincerely devoted and occupied, and those who were careless and neglectful.
Some might not follow so closely, they might not share as much intimacy but they could well be accepted. I am not sure about that.
As to saints or prophets/pastors.. I reject the idea that one is more favoured than the other .... all individuals have the freedom to become as close to God/Jesus as they want. It is according to our own desire and effort... the more we have to do with another person, the more we are in sympathy and the more we concern ourselves with their concerns, the closer and more intimate we become...lady r
