No one was converted until the day of PENTECOST
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31,32

If anybody was converted, Peter, James and John were. Jesus selected them to go with him on every special occasion or event. Any converted sheep can understand that the day of pentecost experience is the day that all things became new and especially the NEW tongues. Behold all things have become new because they have been converted. By your words, you are justified. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Matt. 12:37 Jesus had to go and preach to the spirits of the saints in prison who had gone on before the day of pentecost and bring them out of Abraham's bosom into his bosom. 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism(of the holy spirit and fire) doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 1 Peter 3:18-22

I can only expect born anew, fire baptised, converted sheep to undersand this.
NOBODY BUT SHEEP CAN BELIEVE JESUS. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:24-28

CHRIST JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. The sheep's names were written in the Lambs book of life from the foundation of the world.
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Rev. 17:8

4 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:14-16
There were sheep in what is now America when Jesus said this, and he brought them in just like he said, or he would have failed, and Jesus has never failed to do what he said he would do.
