    I don't know what churches you've attended, but in my experience, referring to ordinary people as "anointed" is commonplace. Now perhaps you think the term is being overused and should only be invoked in a very narrow set of circumstances, but that really has nothing to do with this discussion.
    From Jim’s own link:

    Spiritual anointing with the Holy Ghost is conferred also upon Christians by God. ( 2 Corinthians 1:21 ) " Anointing "expresses the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit upon Christians who are priests and kings unto God.

    Evidently, Jim didn’t like the definitions that didn’t make his fellow Christians look bad, so it was ignored.
