(My grandfather? Prolly not. I'm not as young as you think. My grandfathers died in 1960 & 1967.)
I'm sure I'm not misunderstanding you. You say a person can not be in the one true fold of sheep if they do not obey the Sabbath command, if and when they know enough to do that. The people of God are no longer judged according to the first covenant worship cycle. That is why we are to not let anyone judge us in regard to those things (Col. 2). Faith in Christ determines one's place in the sheep fold, not worship law keeping...faith "expressing itself through love" (Gal. 5:6 NIV). The fruit of the Spirit, particularly love, is how we know we are in the one true fold of sheep.
