Salvation - What Saith the Scriptures?

the Christian is immersed into Jesus Christ, and becomes partaker of Jesus's eternal life that was manifested through these three processes:

Crucifixion    Gal. 2:20
Burial    John 19:40
Resurrection    Rom 6:4–5
   
These five things happen to the child of God at salvation:
His soul is cut loose from his fleshly body
His soul is saved
His spirit is born again as it is joined to the Holy Spirit of God
He is adopted and justified by a judicial act of God
He is baptized into the spiritual Body of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit
The four great transactions that accompanied the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary:
He blotted out “the handwriting of ordinances” Col 2:14 . See Acts 15:10–11, Ephesians 2:15
He took “the handwriting...out of the way” Col 2:14 . Freeing the Christian Rom. 6:4–20; 2 Cor. 3; Gal. 4:1–6
He “nailed it to his cross,” dying with Him Rom. 7:1–4 becoming a cancelled debt Gal. 3:13
He made a fool out of Satan and all those under him - including the Devils angels, principalities, powers, devils (demons), and evil spirits. He did it publicly while “triumphing over them in it” Col 2:15

Romans 14:7-9 "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living."
   
Rom 7:1-4: "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God."

Below is a quote from Dr Peter Ruckman commenting on Romans 7:1-4 . For more similar Dr Ruckman quotes click here: Dr Ruckman Romans Study
"The first truth of the matter you must understand, which the Greek scholars can never find, is that when a man is saved, the Holy Spirit spiritually circumcises him inside from the body in which he walks around in, or in which he walks around, if you're interested in straining out gnats and swallowing camels. And so even though you are no longer in the flesh spiritually, and you're one in Christ, seated in heavenly places, etc., you are geographically in your body. You've been cut loose from your body, you're not joined to your body, you're not stuck to your body, and that truth is absolutely essential in understanding Romans 7, 1 to 3 , and if you don't understand that truth, like the leading scholars in any generation have failed to understand it, don't waste your time trying to expound Romans 7 .
Romans 7, verse 1, "Know ye not brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth, for the woman which hath the husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth, but if the husband be dead, she is loosed", loosed, loosed, the same expression used for a divorce in 1 Corinthians 7, "She is loose from the law of her husband. So then while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she should be called an adulterist, but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law so that she is no adulterist, though she be married to another man. And now, wherefore, wherefore, my brother, ye also are become dead, dead not only to sin, but dead to the law, by the body of Christ that you should be married to another, even to him who has raised from the dead that we should bring forth fruit unto God" exactly as you read it in chapter 6, verse 22. Now, there will not be time on this volume for an ample discussion of these first four verses, so we'll take them up into tale on our next volume, volume 10. Suffice it to say, that the picture given is the picture of a woman who is likened to your soul, and a man who is likened to your body of skin and bones. And this soul, this woman was stuck to this man and joined together and cleaved one to another. And when you got saved, the husband was assassinated, the body, killed, dead and nailed, and the woman inside the soul is free to be remarried, and she remarried Jesus Christ. And without an understanding of that spiritual circumcision, as I gave it to you just then, any dissertation on the two natures and victory over sin is an impossibility.
Be not deceived. For the Greek yields no light and Greek scholarship can tell you nothing but confuse the text, the Authorized English text under the inspiration and power of the Holy Ghost, can bring home truths that are unknown to the greatest scholars that ever lived. Don't ever forget it."
  
"For he hath made him to be sin for us"
Numbers 21:8 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent , and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."
John 3:14 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up"
2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him"
   
On the cross, Jesus took the punishment of Hell on himself as the " son of man " , as He paid the price for sin by taking the place of a lost man dying and going to Hell .
John 19:28 "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst ."
Luke 16:22-24 "... the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water , and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame ."
Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God , my God , why hast thou forsaken me? "
In the above verse, when Jesus was on the cross he cried out as a lost man in Hell as he did not cry out my Father , my Father , but rather My God , my God .
In the Gospels Jesus is the " Son of God ", but He was also the " son of man ".
When he cried out to the Father in Matthew 27:46 he was the " son of man " taking the punishment of a lost man dying and going to Hell. He rose again from the dead as the " Son of God " having a glorious resurrection body. He took the place of a saved sinner, who won't go to Hell because Jesus went in his place. Pardoned from the penalty of sin.

A Saved Soul Is Eternally Secure
Now, in the Church Age, the Born Again Christian has his (or her) soul saved (NOT the body), his spirit quickened with new life and joined to the Spirit of the Lord, and his fleshly sinful body is spiritually circumcised (spiritually cut) from his sanctified soul and spirit until he gets his new redeemned glorified body at the Rapture . His soul is saved and eternally secure now in this Church Age in which God provides him the Gospel of 1st Cor 15:1-4 , NOT the Everlasting Gospel for those on Earth in the 7 year tribulation, because the Gospel of the Tribulation ("The Everlasting Gospel" Rev 14:6 ) is not the same as the Gospel of Grace ( 1st Cor 15:1-4 ) in this current Church Age, and so salvation is different. Anyone preaching the Gospel of the Tribulation ("The Everlasting Gospel") NOW in the Church Age is cursed (Gal 1:8-10) .
If someone, a born again Christian, who falsely believes that he can lose his salvation now in the Church Age, who wrongly divides the Word of Truth believing the Bible contradicts itself, who wants to believe that the Everlasting Gospel for those people in the Tribulation is for him now, and that he will suffer God's wrath and go into the 7 year tribulation, then his unbelief through deception will trick him into believing that God LIED about Eternal Security, because he foolishly applies Tribulation passages to himself now in the Church Age. To him, God's promises appear to be negated and hence God's promises of Eternal Security in these scriptures would appear to be all LIES : Rom 8:37-39, Eph 4:30, Phil 1:6, 1 Cor 1:7-8, Eph 5:30, 2 Tim 2:13, etc ...
Not believing what God said regarding this doctrine will cost him a Crown at The Judgement Seat of Christ. A Crown of Righteousness is given to saved people who love His appearing by waiting for their Lord Jesus Christ to call them up hither because they believe what God says in the scriptures; BUT to those saved people who believe a different Gospel (Gal 1:8-10) than given to us in 1st Cor 15:1-4 , who wrongly divide the word by applying Tribulation passages now to the Church Age, who falsely believe that they will get the wrath of God and go through the Tribulation, and who are therefore fearing man and not God, they will NOT be awarded a Crown of Righteousness.
Rev. 3:11 “Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown”
In the 6 minute Dispensation Timeline video below, Dr Ruckman will explain why we are saved by grace through faith now in the Church Age, and the different gospels in other time periods (dispensations):
RIGHTLY DIVIDED: Colossians 3:3 "For ye (body) are dead, and your life (soul) is hid with Christ (spirit) in God . "
Dispensational Salvation
Salvation is in three tenses of time:
Past : At the time of the new birth, your previously dead Spirit was given new life by being born again and joined to the Spirit of the Lord, and your Soul was saved and spiritually cut free from the sinful fleshly body .
Present : You "put off the old man " and "put on the new man " as you are battling enemy devils for dominion over your fleshly body .
