To receive Salvation requires asking for Jesus Christ to be your personal Savior with recognition of what Jesus Christ has done in order to receive the Salvation, which is permanent, and the free gift does come with responsibilities that are part of a person's freewill to do so that affects the person's earthly life and Rewards in Heaven.

What is a Saint?

A Saint in the Scriptures is a person that has Salvation and the person is set apart.  It is a seal and marked for redemption in Eternity. 

Incorrect Understanding of the Word Saint

In some Christian Denominations, the term "saint" has taken on a meaning of special significance that somehow human beings can vote on Earth that a person that has died is entitled to have special rewards from God.  This is ludicrous as God is the only Judge as detailed in the two judgments called:

1. Judgment Seat of Christ, and
2. Great White Thrown of Judgment.

Further Information

1. It is impossible to Lose Salvation.
2. A person can receive Salvation and not do anything with their Salvation for their entire life, and that still does not create a forfeiture of their Salvation.  All of us are working for Rewards in Heaven.
3. The purpose of all of the Parables from Jesus Christ are to teach us the responsibilities of being a Christian.
   (a) Parable of Talents and Parable of Minas
   (b) Foolish Virgins
   (c) Third Commandment,

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
