Did Jesus come to save only the already saved?  Did Jesus not personally say that he came for the sinners such as "Tax collectors"?

Did Jesus specifically direct some of his message only to those who were already born again?  If he did, what are these?


Check these out:

Mark 2:
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.
14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

huxley, this is a spinoff of an earlier thread.

I repeat again (seems you're not as "logical" as you claim) - to the unsaved, God's laws are of no use. You can obey the 10 commandments, go to church faithfully, give to the poor and pay tithe . . . as long as you havent given ur life to Christ all the promises in the bible dont apply to you.

Once u're saved you become a Son . . . now the biblical laws now apply to you and thru them the Holy Spirit guides and keeps you.

Just the same way you dont expect ur neighbour to pay ur school fees no matter how close you are to his family . . . so is it in the kingdom of God. Easy.

Quoting the bible as an unbeliever is a waste of time.

Christ came for the sinners but Salvation of the soul is the FIRST step.

Nobody was born again until Jesus resurrected.
