YES! Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, and the Big Guy Saint Michael, all the angels, cherubims and seraphims, and all the great human Saints in Heaven and martyrs.
Then there are the bad guys Lucifer, his legions, and humans who follow his arrogance.

Yes I do. The Bible clearly states that all believers are saints. Christianity is only mentioned twice in the whole bible, but the word saints is mentioned 115 times.
Therefore, if your are a believer, you must be a saints, if you are a saints, you must be a believer.
Praise the Lord.

The scriptures call the believers 'saints' but if you mean the Catholic version of saints, the jury is still out. There are a couple of points in the scriptures that show someone praying to somebody other than God, but I haven't seen any evidence that suggests those prayers were answered. Only God can make miracles and it is by His authority that healings and other miracles are happening today. When the spiritual healer heals, he is asking God to do it, not by the healer's own will.

They existed in real life and said to have done good things in life that's why they're called saints. But to me, they are the same ordinary persons. It's the people who call them saints and they are being praised. I don't thnk that's fair. If I were God, I would complain of the attention some people give to saints. Are they there to compete with God? With this realization, I just believe in their good deeds but they are no saints...

The term "saint" is used 61 times in the New Testament (KJV), Each time it refers to a believer in Christ. It is never used for someone venerated or someone put on a pedestal by a certain denomination or clergy. All born again believers in Christ are considered saints.

In the Bible Paul calls all God's children God's saints. We christians are saints because we were purified by God's cleansing blood!

What's to believe? Saints were people that lived and died. We know that. They only became labeled as saints posthumously. They demonstrated they were saints while they were alive.

Carl, the Bible says every believer is a Saint and warrior for God, called to 'fight the good fight'.
The RCC, in their definition, elevation and worship of mere sinners that they call saints is blashemous.

Absolutely. If no one believed in the Saints, imagine how dismal this world would be.
