I'm not sure what is wrong with your memory or your understanding that you would have to write this down. Clearly John the Baptist was not in the kingdom of God. He was not a Christian, not a born again person at all. Yet, he was a saint because he was holy, separated for God's use. A saint is a holy one. A Christian is someone who follows Christ. John could not do that, because he was the forerunner of Christ. He pointed to Christ, but he was not a disciple of Christ. Some of his disciples, however, became disciples of Christ. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure all this out. Peace be with you.
