1 Peter 1:15-16 but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

1 Cor 4:15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

I am familiar with these versus as well.

No where do I see where we are to call another man holy or father. The Bible most certainly tells us to be holy but I see it as very presumptuous to call a person such.

In the same sense I take great exception to a person who claims they are saved or claims that one is damned. Both are very presumptuous and quite possibly dangerous.



1Cor.4
[15] For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
