The question was “Is it Biblical for men to raise another man to be a Saint?”.

Nothing you’ve posted answers that question.

All who have been saved through the grace of Jesus Christ are saints. Are we really talking the same thing as the Saints God refers to in his Word?

I did answer more than two ways.

Here- once again- is it Biblical for a man to raise a man to a saint?

Jesus is a man, He raised all of the children of God to saints. IS THAT Biblical?

Well yes. Jesus, himself IS the living word of God. Can’t get more Biblical than Jesus, So Yes.

Who are the saints? The children are the saints. Who are the children? The children of God are those who have faith in him.

Ephesians 2:19-20
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,…

So every time you ask someone to pray for you, and intercede on your behalf you are acknowledging they are saints, and ever time you believe you get an inheritance with Jesus, you are saying you , yourself are a saint.
