Turretinfan and I discussed John 10:26: “you do not believe because you are not my sheep”. I mapped out various non-Calvinist explanations, including, “faithful Jews”, inclusivism, and prevenient grace and then defend the prevenient grace view. The main points of disconcurrance were: 1) are sheep considered as “the elect” or rather does sheep being predisposed to follow make election irrelevant, 2) can sheep be considered as the elect, given they sometimes ignore Christ and follow false teachers before conversion, 3) is saying you are not my sheep a rebuke, 4) do verses 37-38 indicate some people resist the Father preparing them to believe the Son? We agreed that John 10 teaches some form of perseverance of the saints.
