save.
Savedis used for to indicate a spiritual condition.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish... This verse makes a direct contrast between the
them that are savedand
them that perish.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.We are
saved from our sinswhen they no longer have any effect upon us. This is not completed at the instant that we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord but continues throughout our life.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
are savedis past-tense.
it is the power of Godis present-tense which is based upon the past-tense. That makes this on-going.
Salvationrequires a changed life (repentance) and many of these verses show a requirement for ongoing repentance, not just one time at our initial profession. Matthew 18:11; 19:16-30; 24:11-13; 10:26; Mark 16:16; Luke 13:18-30; 18:26; 19:10; John 10:9;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
ye are savedis personal and present-tense.
if ye keep in memoryis personal and a future-tense requirement that is attached to the personal and present-tense salvation.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
salvationoccurs after the initial profession.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Being now justifiedmeans that Paul is addressing people who already made a profession.
shall be savedis a future tense action and this action is part of our spiritual
salvation.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
we were reconciled to Godis past-tense for our initial profession.
we shall be saved by his lifeis future-tense salvation by the life of the Son of God changing us. This is getting us out of our sin (
saved) and, thereby, save us from the consequence of ongoing sin in our life which we do after becoming a
child of God.
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
we are savedis a declaration of a present-tense condition that happened in the past but is still on-going.
why doth he yet hope foris a future-tense expectation that is based upon the present-tense condition which is not yet completed (or the hope would be fulfilled).
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
them who draw back unto perditionand
them that believe to the saving of the soulare both
justaccording to this sentence.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.This was written to
beloved brethren. The

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being aloneThe
worksmust come after the
faithon our initial profession.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.Notice that this is written to
Brethren(saved people).

save a soul from deathare both speaking about what can happen to
Brethren(saved people).
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
the answer of a good conscience toward Godhappens after our initial profession and
doth also now save us(adds to our (salvation / life from God) after our initial profession.

. Please also see the Gospel of Your Salvation in the Word Study on Gospel. The true Biblical definition of spiritual salvation
is: 'God's life in you'. Please see the three definitions below, see the differences and similarities.
Easton's Bible Dictionary defines salvation
as: 'This word is used of the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians (Ex 14:13), and of deliverance generally from evil or danger. In the New Testament it is specially used with reference to the great deliverance from the guilt and the pollution of sin wrought out by Jesus Christ, "the great salvation" (Heb 2:3). (See Redemption; Regeneration.) '. Morrish Bible Dictionary
defines salvation
as: 'This may be seen in various connections in scripture.
1. It has reference primarily to the judgement of God to which man is obnoxious by reason of sin. This is illustrated by the destruction of the firstborn (the strength) of Egypt when the destroying angel passed through the land. The Israelites were saved only through being sheltered by the blood of the passover lamb. Salvation is based on God's righteousness having been maintained and declared in the death of Christ, and hence is for the believer in Christ. Lu 1:77.
2. Intimately connected with the above is the question of salvation from enemies carnal or spiritual. With Israel it was the former, as the Egyptians and the Canaanites. With Christians it is the latter, as sin, death, the world and the power of Satan. Salvation in this sense is by the power of God. Lu 1:71.
3. It has reference further to the actual physical condition of Christians which is met by the redemption of the body. In this sense salvation is hoped for. During the interval the Christian has to work out into result his own salvation (it was in the case of the Philippians their 'own salvation' in contrast to the care exercised over them by Paul when present with them). Php 2:12-13: cf. Heb 7:25'. Webster's 1828 defines salvation
as: 'n. L. salvo, to save. 1. The act of saving; preservation from destruction, danger or great calamity. 2. Appropriately in theology, the redemption of man from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal death, and the conferring on him everlasting happiness. This is the great salvation. godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation. 2Cor. 7. 3. Deliverance from enemies; victory. Ex. 14. 4. Remission of sins, or saving graces. Luke 19. 5. The author of man's salvation. Ps. 27. 6. A term of praise or benediction. Rev. 19'.
