God, however, has a different perspective on sainthood. Paul called the Corinthian believers saints (1 Cor. 1:2) then went on for many chapters correcting their sinful practices.

I believe God requires that sainthood begin here on earth. If someone waits till they die, to see if they will become a saint, it is a virtual ironclad guarantee that they will not.

This is an excellent piece on defining what a saint is.

Saint Mark. Kind of has a ring to it.
