I belong to a mainline Protestant church. Unlike Catholicism, my denomination teaches that praying to saints, angels, and other residents of heaven constitutes a sin. They teach that we’re only supposed to pray to God, but why is praying to anyone else wrong?
My personal experiences have taught me that it is perfectly acceptable to pray to others in heaven. One time I prayed to a saint whose biography I read. He lived a very pious life and has exemplary religious character. The saint then came to visit me, and we said a prayer together.
It is okay to pray to saints. We Christians can pray to whoever we want to in heaven, and they will always intercede for us. Other Protestants should realize that Martin Luther’s teaching on this subject isn’t accurate.
