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.

Christians continue to believe in thousands of different saints. There are currently over 10,000 named saints that Roman and Orthodox Christians believe in.
Only Catholic Christians pray to saints. Protestants Christians do not. We [Protestants] believe they were disciples/apostles of Jesus, but we don't ask the them to pray for us.
Christians are saints. Saints are Christians.
Christians believe in a good afterlife because it's described in the scriptures they believe in. Most Christians believe in the Bible--you might want to start there. If you want more, you can also try the Book of Mormon, which the Latter-Day Saints and a few others believe is another testament of Christ.
Saints are just Christians.
Becaus Catholics aren't Christians. Catholics believe that you have to go through the High Priest to talk to God, they believe that you'll go to purgetory if you do something wrong you didn't confess, and they pray to the saints. 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.
Yes, Mormonism is a restoration of original Christianity. Mormons (Latter-day Saints) believe in much of what other mainstream Christians believe, and -- like all denominations -- also have beliefs that differ from the teachings of other Christians. See related links, below, for additional information.
Christians do not believe in reincarnation. Christians believe in Heaven.
no, Adventists do not believe in Saints.. am sure they were good Christians but we don't believe in praying to anyone but God alone.
Those who would petition Saints believe in an afterlife and believe that the Saints are alive in the afterlife.
Christians. All the believers of Jesus Christ.
Christians believe there is only one God.
