It's not according to me. Did you read the parable? The foolish ones were admonished to buy oil.

It is according to you. You interpreted their sleep to be death. I didn't ask specifically about buying, I asked about it happening after death. I think you're reading way too into this...Just my opinion.
As far as knowing the Lord's voice, it's not only one way. The demons know the Lord's voice.
Peter was unclear about the Lord's speaking numerous times. He had the Lord with him, as did the other disciples yet they asked who he was (Lk 8:25, Mt 11:3) Knowing the Lord's voice in the context of Jn 10:14 implies more than just recognizing his voice, don't you agree? It implies trust, faith, obedience...Everyone of us in unclear at times, but when we are clear, do we obey? That's knowing the Lord and being His, being not of this world.
