Funny, in all your citations, none of them use the word ‘all’.

This wouldn’t be just yet another protestant interpolation?

“All true believers are saints in true Christianity”

The word “saint” comes from the Greek word hagios, which means “consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural, “saints.”

Do you consider yourself “consecrated to God”?

There is no ALL in these words of JESUS either. While He died for ALL not ALL following him on HIS narrow road which few do but on the road to destruction which 'man' and their teachings leads MANY them onto.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY enter through it. "

"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a FEW find it."

It's showing those who doesn't KNOW God's WORD/those we EXPECT to get from GOD while they bow to 'man which is evil' and their teachings. No one can serve two masters.

“All true believers are saints in true Christianity”

There is only one kind of believers - those who are 'born again 'in Christ' and HE/HIS WORD is their final authority. While counterfeits want to claim what isn't theirs......

God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? Psalm 50:16
