St Michael isn't just an ordinary saint........He's the sparkly shiny soard carrying gardian of Eve's tomb who also kicked Lucifer out of heaven down to hell to reign as satan.

*sword* even!

Is an archangel a special angel or a 'first' angel or what?
Wasn't he one of four?

[ganesh]

..And what makes him a saint then?

In A Pickle isn't Gabriel an Archangel I think it even mentions Raphael and Uriel too?

(Revelation 12:7) And war broke out in heaven: Mi′cha�el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled

So Michael is a LEADER of angels.

Verse 9; �So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

So Satan was ejected from heaven by Michael.

(Revelation 20:3) And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.

This same 'he' sealed up Satan.

(Revelation 19:11) And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness.

(Revelation 19:13) and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God.

The 'Word' is Jesus. So Michael is Jesus.
The only one in heaven with the power to oust Satan.

I heard of these theories about Jesus being Michael in Human form. Wikipedia says "Iglesia Ni Cristo" is one of those sects who believe that.
