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..

The metaphor is erroneous. There is no Biblical mention of various types of sheep - just sheep and goats. The Sermon on the Mount (or on the Plain) says nothing about clubber sheep.
