An Apostle is one who has seen the risen Lord, and they all appeared to have had all the gifts of the Spirit and hand picked by Jesus himself, every Christian is a disciple, we are all learning from the Master, Jesus is our teacher and we are his students. Every Christian is a Believer, obviously if you are not you can't be a Christian, A saint is someone who has served the Lord for most of their lives and have served with honor in my opinion, they have been faithfull, trustworthy and dedicated, and they have done it for years, the definition of a saint is up for debate of course but I believe most Christians would agree with me on that. Your normal Christian today goes to Church on Sunday, A saint goes everytime the door is open and participates in any way needed for the good of the Church. A saint puts the Church ahead of themselves and has done it for years, and never asks for anything in return, doing the job is reward enough, because they are serving their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I hope to be one someday, but I am sure along way from it right now, your question convicts me of my need to do more for my Saviour, Thank You!!

Being "just a believer", doesn't mean there is any action in the faith. A disciple is one that has "committed" a follower of Jesus, a seeker of righteousness", an apostle is one that has specifiably been appointed by the Lord to represent him, which is what a pastor is "suppose" to be. And a saint, is one that has been sanctified, a declaration that one belongs to God, and become though the Holy Spirit, separated from the world.

Apostles were Jesus' inner circle. He often took them aside for extra, special teachings, as outlined in the bible. The current decendents of the Apostles can be found in Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, Anglican/Episcopal, and Gnostic Churches.
Disciples were the masses of followers that Jesus had and fed Fish and Bread.
Saints are declared by various churches to be people certainly in heaven. The most common denotation of sainthood is Martyrdom, as the bible says specifically these people are in heaven.
A Believer is a title used by anyone who's trying to figure out this religion thing, or on the other hand, those who think they got it all figured out.

All religions are the word of God. Islamic people believe that Mohammad was God's favourite prophet and he spread God's word. They also believe that Jesus was a prophet as well, however not as important as Mohammad. The Islamic people pray five times a day and it is very important to cleanse oneself before prayer time. They pray on their knees on a small carpet and bow down as they pray. They believe in Allah and only Allah as there is only one God. Mecca is the Holy city to pray and women attending the pilgrimage return home wearing a veil. They must always wear it in front of people. They celebrate the Ramadan which they must fast for about a month, cannot eat between dawn and dusk. After the fasting period is over they sure have a big feast. This is their biggest holiday. Christianity beliefs are a little different as Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. RC's believe there are three people in God, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Father. Also, you must go through Jesus to reach God. RC's normally have mass every Sunday and hears the priest's sermon. It does not last very long 30 to 40 minutes. RC's celebrate the birth of Christ which is Xmas and also celebrate Easter which are the two main holidays. It is my opinion that we all believe in the same merciful God.

In the ancient church (and in the restored one), disciple, saint, and believer are all synonymous terms. Apostles are a special case. They are called especially to testify of Jesus Christ to all the world.
