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
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."
   

"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, in our place as a lost MAN tormented in the flames of 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

Quote: Dr Peter Ruckman, Romans Commentary (The Bible Believers Commentary Series), page 140-141: Click on the picture link below to purchase a copy from the source:

"Here are words that define Bible salvation:
I. JUSTIFICATION — the declaration that a man is righteous when he is not.
II. REDEMPTION (vs. 24) — the payment made to buy the sinner back from the wrath of God.
III. PROPITIATION (vs. 25) — the price paid to satisfy the demands of an angry God against sin. The difference between redemption and propitiation is that in redemption the payment is made; in propitiation the payment is accepted by God and appeases, or placates, His anger. He is completely satisfied with the payment He received.
IV. REMISSION (vs. 25) — the payment for sin is applied to your account, and you are forgiven the debt that you owed.
V. EXPIATION — the act of purging (burning out) or cleansing of sin. Sin is taken away, not merely forgiven, based upon the actions of Christ on our behalf.
VI. IMPUTATION — the act of God whereby He charges the sinner’s sins to Jesus Christ, and whereby He charges the righteousness of Jesus Christ to the sinner.
VII. REGENERATION — the act of salvation in which the Holy Spirit enters the sinner and gives him new life by a new birth. A new spirit, able to respond to the Holy Spirit, is created within the sinner.
VIII. RECONCILIATION — the act whereby two warring parties (you and God) are brought together in peace.
IX. SPIRITUAL CIRCUMCISION — the act of the Holy Spirit that divides the new nature in the Christian from his body of sinful flesh, so that no sin done in the flesh can affect the new spirit.
X. ADOPTION — the act whereby God takes a sinner and puts him into the family of God upon salvation.
XI. SANCTIFICATION — the act whereby God sets a saved sinner apart, so that, from then on, he is dealt with as a son instead of as a stranger.
XII. GLORIFICATION — the ultimate end of the saved sinner whereby he is made completely like Jesus Christ and given an inheritance with Him in His kingdom.
Now, that is what happens to you at salvation (you are predestinated as a Christian to glorification). When I got saved, I knew just one thing: I was a sinner headed for Hell, and if something didn’t happen pretty quick that it wouldn’t take long for me to make it there. That’s all I knew when I got saved; I didn’t learn until much later that all of those other things took place."
The Most Important Question: What Must I Do To Be Saved?

What about the heathen - those people who never heard the Gospel?
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 of your fleshly body .
