BLAINE: OooooH!  Kevin.  Where in your Bible does it define the difference between a saint and a Christian?  As usual,  you make up your religion as you go along.  OK everyone,  NEW RULE!  Kevin's ruling is that although John the Baptist is not Christian, he is still a saint.  Shall I write that down somewhere so's I don't forget?     In a message dated 5/17/2005 9:57:34 PM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: John the Baptist as not being Christian sounds typically Kevin Deegan, for sure--similar to his stance that Mormons are not Christians.    Not similar in the least! John the Baptist is a Saint, LDS are in name ONLY!

We believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children . . .  and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell, for the which holiness, oh God,  we thank thee, . . . etc"  (Alma 31:13-21  Alma calls them to repentance for such arrogance, but they reject him, drive him out among the poor, whom they have also rejected.  Alma then preaches to the poor, many of whom receive his message.
