What is a "great man/woman of God"?
I just saw this mentioned in another thread and thought I'd ask.
What qualifies someone for the designation "great" and what would disqualify them, if anything? Is there an advantage to being considered "great"? Or is there a disadvantage? How is it determined that a man/woman is great?
