Sadducee Member of a Jewish sect, powerful at the time of Jesus, who set great store by regular worship at the temple. Sadducees believed only in the Torah (first five books of Moses, also called "Pentateuch") and did not believe in the resurrection.
Saint (lit., "holy person") In NT usage, anyone who is sanctified or "in Christ" is regarded as a saint (1 Cor. 1:2). Catholics reserve the term for people of special holiness who are canonized or authorized to be called saints. In Catholic belief, the saints can be called on to intercede with God for us. The Catholic use of this term is foreign to the Scriptures and unwarranted. The Scriptures teach that Christ and the Holy Spirit intercede for us (Rom 8:26,27; Heb 7:25). The concept of intercession of the saints is not from God but in the imagination of man. Of course, all Christians have the right to pray for each other (Jas 5:16). Rev 14:12-13, Acts 9:1, 13; Rom 1:7. What does it mean to be a Saint? 1 Cor 6:19-20, 1 Pet 4:2, 2 Cor 6:17-18, Eph 5:3
Salvation The rescuing of someone from danger. In the Bible it means bringing someone from captivity to sin into the fullness of freedom in Christ. Jesus means "Savior." Salvation has a past reference: a believer has been saved through the death of Jesus, who died once for all (Heb 9:26). Salvation has a present application: one is saved when he obeys the gospel through faith, repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38-47). Salvation also has a future hope for those who remain faithful: believers will be rescued from eternal destruction at the second coming. Christians are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8-10).
