Question that I think I asked before is this..: Is salvation a process? Are we saved, yet being saved, shall be saved? What does the practice of our scriptural beliefs yield us? It's all three. Salvation happens in an instant, is a process, and is a future event. We have been saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved. Biblically, it's known as justification (salvation from the penalty of sin), sanctification (salvation from the power of sin), and glorification (salvation from the presence of sin). The first happens why I initially believe and obey the Gospel. The second is what occurs in my daily walk with God. And the third happens when I receive my resurrected/glorified body. Excellent Response!

Thanks. I believe that because too many of us are unaware of the different meanings and nuances of the word "salvation" throughout scripture, we get tripped up and arrive at incorrect interpretations.
