The only scripture I can recall is when Jesus states that. “I have sheep that are not of this fold.”

In my mind, without the benefit of having delved deeply into the original text, that could mean human believers that are not of the country or locale. It could mean heavenly beings like angels. It could even mean beings not from the Earth. Bottom line is, I readily admit that I do not know.

Mormons have latched on to that statement as a means to justify Mormonism. However, Jesus is referring to Gentiles as the other sheep in this passage.
