About: Enquirer: Sir, I understand you are a member of the Church called Latter-Day Saints. Why is the Church called by that name? / Saint: The term Saint is as old as Adam, and has been in use in all ages and dispensations as a sacred name applied to the people of God by inspiration, but more especially applied by the sacred writers to the people of God in the last days. […] [W]e consider that the people of God should be distinguished by no other name but that of Saints, the term Latter-Day being appended as merely expressive of the age or dispensation in which we live.       Sponge   NotDistinct   Permalink
