I think one could make a fair case that at least 1 John comes from the community of believers for whom the fourth Gospel was written. But I don't think one can go much further than that. I certainly don't jump to the conclusion that the authors are the same person. Then again, I'm not desperate to avoid admitting that much of my holy book comes down to hearsay.
I'm not arguing that, though. They could be the same author for all I care, but that wasn't what my question was about.
