What's the difference between a postulate and a theorem? Please and thank you!

OpenStudy (torvela):

In a mathematical paper, the term theorem is often reserved for the most important results. Corollary — a result in which the (usually short) proof relies heavily on a given theorem (we often say that “this is a corollary of Theorem A”). Axiom/Postulate — a statement that is assumed to be true without proof.
