Let me put it this way: Scripture doesn't teach that a person loses the ability to intercede, or ceases to be a member of the Communion of Saints once they enter heaven!

That a person is cut off from the Body of Christ once they are "in Christ" in eternity, makes no sense. That a saint in heaven is disabled in terms of praying or interceding any more, makes no sense.

The burden of proof is on you, to prove that a saint in heaven supposedly is dis-membered from the Body of Christ.

Well then you go right ahead and make up whatever suits your needs! You still have the pesky "John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."

Naw...No different that communication in 1740...If you lived in Virgina and wanted to have a Christian brethren in Connecticut pray for you, it wasn't going to happen...

Unless those saints in heaven have I-phones, there won't be any communication...

Actually it's on you because you've created doctrine and practices without precedent in the Word of God. Not only is it not there but there are warnings about speaking with the dead.
