Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus(Ephe 1:1.
Dear Father thank you for your "eternal truth" which is your power unto salvation. I pray as we believe may you confirmed it in our lives. Amen!
God has made us saints through Christ. We're the saints of God through Christ Jesus. You don't need to be canonized by mortal men before you could be a saint. You don't need to die before you can become a saint.
Believers in Christ Jesus are saints. While those who have not yet believe in Him can also become saints through simple faith in Christ Jesus. Our good works cannot make us saints, neither can our puny effort do. Jesus is the author of our sainthood. In Him all humanity have a chance to become saints of God.
It is foolishness to believe that the puny declaration of men can establish someone as a saint. Say no to the doctrine of men.
Say no to the deceit and lies of the devil.
Keep believing and keep winning! Peace! |

First you dash to a good bible concordance to find the meaning of the original greek or aramaic word used there in the bible
and thereafter, gain the proper understanding of word, in doubt of its real meaning I am in absolute confusion right now |

You are not wiser than the Saints of old who spread the gospel to gentiles like us. In Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation,official ecclesiastical recognition, and consequently veneration, is given to some saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
N/B- the eastern orthodox church is the oldest church in the world. It comprise churches set up by apostles Paul, Barnabas and other evangelical apostles who missioned in Greece, Mesopotamia and Anthioc, middle-east and Africa. The Ethiopian orthodox church also believes this. My question to modern day Pentecostals is where they get their knowledge of the word from? U can tell me it's only divinely inspired bcoz even Jesus 12 apostles did not understand about Christ even though they stayed with him. Sometimes u need the wisdom of someone to break down the scriptures for you, not only following literal writings which have been translated many times into different languages before eventually reaching English.
The height of foolishness is using the Bible compiled by orthodox to base your Pentecostal beliefs You are wise and great. |

A saint is anyone who has been sanctified by the blood of Jesus once and for all
not some morally upright walking folks
Dont get me wrong, walking upright is the norm for all saints (those washed), but walking upright does not make you a saint of God Beautiful! gloriously put. |

Teach brother.
I wonder, whether or not, self-professed catholics,
the likes of Ubenedictus, 9inches, Syncan, italo etcetera agree to the emboldened up there
and accept that believers dont need to be canonized or formally recognized as biblical saints
As we have worn the likeness of the man who was made from the dust of the earth,
we will also wear the likeness of the man who came from heaven.
- 1 Corinthians 15:49
The biblical meaning of saints means "Set apart"
and implies, a set of people, different and/or distinct, as in, due to, having a likeness of nature with God
and so, set apart from others because of the fact of being special to God
Saints, have swapped the likeness of nature with Adam, for a likeness of nature with God
1 Corinthians 15:49 above, is a future entitlement Beautiful bro... Our job is to present the truth and the truth will be their judge, if they refuse it. 1 Like |

It takes a lot growing up 2 accept people 4 what they are& not use insultive words cos u don't agree with them. Am not saying u are infringing on his rights. Am saying d constitution of Nigeria guarantees a person d right 2 speak his mind as long as it isn't libel or an attempt at character assassination. None of his statements breaches any constitutional provision. So when u tell him to shut up, u are simply telling him not 2 exercise his freedom of free speech. If he is fooling himself, its his fooling not yours. If u feel strongly about his ignorance, then correct him from an informed position (if u really are informed). That way, ur knowledge will benefit everyone who reads it. But if u just tell people 2 shut up cos u don't agree with their point of view, then it doesn't show u are better than d person u telling to shut up. |
