*Mark 9:1 He also said to them (large Crowd), “Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come in power.” *
Obvioulsy Jesus can see in the crowd that some (at least at that moment in time) will not inherit salvation, while others will. As the word “death” for Jesus represented a soul seperated from himself, and not a physical death. As in earlier he said, follow me, let the dead bury the dead. Those not tasting “death until” in his passage, are those that will be saved. If so, than this verse is added proof of post-mortum living saints, as they wont taste death until the parousia, or even less after, correct?. Hence, all those in the crowd are presently physically dead now. The word “until” in this passage is NOT just up to that point of the parousia, but after also. It has to be, otherwise it makes no sense. Am I correct/close…
God Bless
