Umm, with all due respect, I don't pray TO the dead. I pray to God. He knows the alive and the dead. Praying for the dead is a waste of time since they are fully in God's hands. I believe in the communion of the saints and the great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1). If God wants to allow those in Heaven to pray for me, so be it and I gladly accept their prayers. However I do not pray asking for the departed to pray for me and neither should any Christian. "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus," (‭I Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬ NKJV). I pray to God in Jesus' name. This has nothing to do with Halloween the way it's celebrated by the way.

Good for you, I don’t either and don’t remember accusing you of doing so. The poster’s point was that he believed he could communicate with the dead to summons their help through prayer. I find nowhere in scripture that the dead become omniscient, a glory belonging only to God. As for Halloween; I don’t get into useless debates over legalism. We always referred to it as “majoring in the minors” As Paul claims in Romans, if it doesn’t concern ones salvation, leave it alone.
