Trying to talk to someone who does not understand the Scriptural definition of *saint* as Catholics don’t, isn’t going to be productive.

We know that in the NT *saint* = believer.

EVERY believer is a saint. They become one as soon as they put their trust in Christ and are born again.

[daniel1212]

EVERY believer is a saint. They become one as soon as they put their trust in Christ and are born again. That is overall how the word is used. According to Rome, the Scriptures must be construed as saying,

"And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God " (Romans 8:27) - while the rest of believers are on their own.

"Distributing to the necessity of saints" (Romans 12:13) - but you can ignore the the rest of believers.

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints " (Ephesians 6:18) - but you can ignore the the rest of believers.

No kidding. Every time he writes another line, I just cringe. How in the world can someone be so blind? It boggles the mind.
