No, he asks us to come as we are. This passage in Matthew shows him inviting fishermen to be some of his most trusted apostles. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%201:16-18&version=NIV 2009-09-25T13:01:16-05:00 The response of Jesus' disciples to his initial call is remarkable. Here, Andrew literally drops what he's doing to come and follow Jesus.
