"Which Whosoever Are You?"

John 3:1-16
1          There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2          The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3          Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4          Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5          Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6          That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7          Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8          The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9          Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10        Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11        Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12        If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13        And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14        And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15        That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16        For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  

Revelation 20:12-15
12        And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13        And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14        And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15        And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Works cannot save you.)

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

So Which WhosoeverAre You? 
The whosoever in John 3:16 or the whosoever of Revelation 20:15? You are one or the other.
