yes

A BIBLICAL ANSWER

No, not all Christians believe in saints.

- The Bible says we are ALL His saints - A FEW scriptures -

Acts 9:13 - "Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this

man (Apostle Paul) how much evil he has done to the saints at

Jerusalem."

Acts 9:32 - "And it came to pass as Peter passed throughout all quarters,

he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda."

Acts 9:41 - "And he (Peter) gave her his hand and lifted her up and when

he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive."

Acts 26:10 - (Apostle Paul speaking) "Which thing I also did in Jerusalem

and many of the saints did I shut up in prison....".

1 Cor.1:2 - To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are

sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all that in

every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord...."

Eph. 1:1 - "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the

saints which are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus."

Phil. 1:1 - "Paul and Timothy the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints

in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi..."

Jude 3 - "Beloved ..........it was needful for me to write to you.........

contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the

saints."

Isaiah 8:19 (last paragraph) states -

....should not a people seek their God?

Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?

1 Tim. 2:5 (One Mediator only)

- "For there is one God and one Mediator

between God and men, Christ Jesus."

From these verses, I understand that all true born-again followers of Jesus Christ are called saints.

Why don't assemsbly of god believe catholics are christians?

Becaus Catholics aren't Christians.

Christians, on the other hand, don't believe they need to go through someone else to talk to God (Jesus took care of the sepparation), they believe that if you rely on Jesus to get to heaven then you will go to heaven (no pergetory), and they only pray to God because the saints are only human.
