I am very aware of what Protestant dogma is regarding this topic, so there is no need to quote them. I Would rather have you actually read the scriptures and be taught by the Holy Spirit what the Truth is, He will guide you into all Truth. If You are not familiar with this pray the Prayer in...

"I Consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost; Christianity without Christ; forgiveness without repentance; salvation without regeneration; Politics without God; and Heaven without hell." "the greatness of man's power is the measure...

Where in scripture? According to the OT, the saints were the priestly Levites, The People who obeyed and followed them were called the faithful as in Hosea 11:12 "Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the...

i Amusing analogies to help you understand, apparently this is above your comprehension? Paul used these analogies as well referring to the church as the Body of Christ.

As a reaction to the RCC and its veneration of saints and prayers to the saints, Protestantism removed the distinction between the faithful and the saints as is indicative of your comment. This error is the cause for the division between the Calvinist and Arminian wings of the church. in the...

To say not all who go to college become doctors is not self affirmation but rather the reality of it all. Some people believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Have a life saving faith, but are not involved in ministry in any way, nor are they called upon to give their testimony in the way a saint is...

"Doctor" of the church is an analogy in case you missed it. An example using like or as to show similarity. This is basic Linguistics you are unable to comprehend.... And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (1 Corinthians 12:5) Ephesians was addressed to BOTH the...

False: It is no different than what Society states qualifies a person to be a doctor. You do not see society falling apart because some people are doctors and others are not. A Saint is one called apart of the whole..... the whole being the body of the faithful, the church. The saint is the...

Both the faithful and the saints. We are all sons and daughters by adoption. this does not take away from the distinction between the faithful and the saints. Saints are chosen by Lot (2 Peter 1:1-2) Salvation is not based upon Lot, But upon the hearing of faith (Romans 10:17, Galatians 3:2)...

The saints are those consecrated. Not all the vessels of the temple are consecrated only some are. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he...

My Point is that I have already addressed this topic with you and we do not agree. Here is the link to this interaction if you wish to read it again.... Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood.. | Christian Forums @ Christianity Board In It we discuss...

Notice the two groups: The "faithful and the Saints"

Two posts in and you are already offended, and diverting away from the topic at hand.

From Scripture. Been over this many times with you already but you just do not want to see this fact. Saint by definition is one set apart from the whole. A Saint in the church is one set apart from the faithful, called of God to make the saintly sacrifice of giving their testimony in the...

False. Salvation is one thing and sainthood another thing. Not all who go to college end up with PHD's. Salvation is offered to whomsoever will. Sainthood is by divine Lot according to the predetermined will of God. God chooses who the saints are. The equating of saints with all born again...

It is my Belief that faith is offered to whomsoever will, But election is for those who are predetermined, this is why I distinguish between the faithful and the saints in the Body of Christ. This is where the error lies that leads to the controversy between God's sovereignty and man's free...

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:19) We, The church are the temple and the ark of the testament, and At the seventh...

Why John is "qualified" to be a witness. Taken from Gospel Secrets Unveiled: Could the Apostle John, Be one of the two Witness mentioned in Revelation? 12 MORE REASONS WHY JOHN IS ONE OF THE TWO WITNESSES 1. WAS A FOLLOWER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST John is the perfect person from the New...

True, But that does not nullify what I wrote, nor does it confirm that these last two martyrs of the church age, which is what the two witnesses are literally, are in fact Enoch and Elijah. As has been mentioned here, the candlesticks are the seven churches (Revelation 1:20) The two witnesses...
