They are the same thing. Most commonly the term melting point is used to describe the temperature at which a substance first co-exists in both a liquid and solid state.

Freezing point is used usually to describe a substance that is usually liquid at room temperature, such as water.

Conversely the term 'boiling point' refers to the first temperature at which the substance exists in both liquid and gaseous states.

Do liquids have melting points?

No, they only have freezing points & gaseous points (it where the liquid becomes a gas). Why don' they have melting points? Well take this as an example: If you left your chocolate bar out in the sun it will melt and become a liquid. There for becoming a liquid IS melting, there is no further melting points to an object ounce it becomes a liquid. Substances have melting points. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid, in other words, the temperature at which it melts.

How did you know freezing points?

If the substance is a liquid, cool it until it freezes. Record the temp while it is freezing, pure substances freeze at a distinct temperature, the freezing point. If it is a solid heat until it melts --- melting point = freezing point.
