***No..... Jesus didnt forbid forming CLUBS.. like Synagogs..
Clubs with officers and secret door knocks, hand shakes and everything..
You know sheep pens.. (John Ch 10)..***

John 10:16

I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.

One flock, one shepherd, one pen. Not pens. The Jews (these sheep) and the Gentiles (other sheep) are to be united under Christ.

You seem hung up on clubs and secret handshakes and door knocks. Did the Freemasons reject your membership big?

Jesus was/is the door to the sheep pen(John ch 10).. Those that hear his voice and follow him (OUT of the sheep pen) are the flock(called OUT ones i.e."church").. Those in the sheep pen are pen mates.. i.e. clubbers.. This metaphor is rich and meaningful.. and explains a lot.. {snip} He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churchs..
