Recognition of superior faculty of a saint in heaven (John 10:10, Matthew 22:30, 1 Corinthians 6:3, 1 Corinthians 13:12)
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I've seen Calvinosaurusization of Scripture before; but usually it's the MORMONs doing it!

What is unclear in these verses? They all show that a saint is like and angel, i.e. is a messenger of God, yet superior to an angel, for he can judge angels; that his life is not some kind of hibernation, but rather is abundant; that his intellect is clear while our intellect is dim. Saints have superior faculties; this is why prayer to them is efficacious.
