You only have "Eternal salvation" after earthly death. period.
The "Gift". of:
Salvation is ONLY a preparation for eternity.
Gift of:
Salvation is what? The promise of Heaven to be with the Father through the Son.
You can't get that until the First death.
Salvation is NOT being a Christian. Being a Christian is a Gift of (Grace). Gifts can be taken away at any time. That's why not all Christians will see the Kingdom. Your "Eternal Salvation" is NOT until the Judgment day.
Good Q*.

Salvation is a package, kind of like a present from God.
It involves restoration, peace, and a chance (certain) to be a son of God and live eternally.
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world. But although the world was made through him, the world didn't recognize him when he came.
Even in his own land and among his own people, he was not accepted. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan--this rebirth comes from God. So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.
John 1:9-14

The first and the most important step is that we, like David, must cry out "Turn to me and have mercy" When we are willing to do that, God will do his work in us and our situation. Asking for forgiveness, and telling God that you believe that Jesus has shed his blood and washed your Sin, is it. The next step is yours..God has already made his offer.
I believe without this Salvation, no, I will not be with my Father, and once saved, that's it...you only need to ask once, and we are all sinners, here on Earth, and will be judged accordingly when we stand before him, Salvation or not. So it is what you do with your life after you have received him, that matters. God Bless.

look at Romans 5:10.
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.
When you believe into Him and call on His name you will be "saved". a better term is that you are regenerated. This means that you not only are saved from eternal perdition, but you now have God's life inside of your innermost part (your spirit). Now, after you are regenerated "much more" you will be saved in His life. This implies a kind of day to day saving from our situations, and our thoughts, our actions, our "old man".
Once you are regenerated you become a son of God. As a son of God, you have everything that God is in your "genes". Being saved is the process of those genes bcoming expressed through your actions. The more you turn to the Lord to pray, read the word, etc, the more you will see a vision of God's economy, and the more this kind of salvation is carried out in you. Ultimately there will be a punishment for those who were not saved in His life (read Matthew). But no matter what, everyone who believes into Him will have eternal life. So your initial salvation is a huge step, you become saved from eternal perdition ("Hell"), but it is just the first step. Most Christians you talk to are not clear on this subject. They will either believe that they are saved once and for all (now you can do whatever you want), or that the christian life is a rollercoaster ride (you sinned at 3:00 p.m. and die, you go to Hell FOREVER, you ask for forgivness at 3:01 p.m. and die, you live in "Heaven" FOREVER)
Both of these ideas are completely hypocritical, and neither is backed by biblical truth.

Today is the day of salvation 2 Corinthians 6-2,and you can receive it right now by inviting Jesus Christ into your heart,to ask him to be your lord and savior,because anyone who calls on the name of the lord shall be saved acts 2-21,so salvation is right now,because salvation is being rescued from danger,being saved from sin and it's punishment.

This is my opinion, formed with guidance and from experience.. There is one verse saying all of us shall change (convert) yet not all of us shall die..
Try to be brief. A period where all went well for me and I actually finally felt I was "growing up", I came back to (paying attention to my belief in) God in this period and also fell in Love in a mayor way.(reading the book the four agreements changed my way of reacting in life). True Love and everything was shining. felt an energy at my heart when I was "in heaven". (Holy Spirit??)
Maybe a year after "the world attacked", symptoms of kundalini rising with burning bush even///, you find out it is an illusion then and subconsious becomes consious.. Very scary "walk through the shadow of the valley of death "and this is what I was saved from//
Now pray out all strings and there are also like spirits (fear anger lust etc..) They are what cause all disease, felt during my month in hell all therse energies enter..This process is process in 2 meanings it is also a trial and a mind-body conversion. The devil is the accuser, it is the ego mind. Demons have been attacking with the weirdest accusations and I have had to pray continuously.. When a cord or spirit leaves that part of the body you need to clean as it looks like bacterria or clusters of cells that blocked your health and energy flow also leave,, (even what demons say is helpful at times "to clean the tubes they put a snake through after threy put something else through the tube that cleans it// This meant clean intestines as a serpent soul is leaving..
Then the tables turned, less attacks and I could live through them, He said do you feel the tables are turnng.. He is truning the tables, He is cleaning my temple He is healing me..It is kinda cleaning your 144000 nadis of the subtle nervous system, which is the tree of life.. Things lik accupressure and massage are very helpful, just had cranial sacral adjustment which was great..
Think the Spirit is working at the ego-mind untill you are finally rid off it and then you are filled with the Spirit.. The last one (energy that des not belong to you, prbl a snake again..) will leave with a lot of water (soemetimes they leave and you feel drops) I think it will be the latter rain and I will be filled with the Spirit..(that will be the watery baptism the fiery baptism was three years ago..)
When all is clean you are ready for the wedding (the divorce with ego-mind is finally through!!!! many analogies). Then He comes, you regain Christ Consiousness at the wedding because He lifts the veil and shows you the truth//Enlightenment..(the Father) You will partake in the tree of life and be HEALTY, happy and not die...
So Christ Saves, Heals and Comes.. Saw that on a church and felt the order was fab..
Sooo in eastern tradition enlightenment can be meeting the Father.. With Holy Spirit (mother God, come on guys why attack me all the time, I have put myself up to judgemement and met those four horsemen,..) present and going through the Son (is taking Him to yourheart and finding clear consiousness or rose) you marry into the complete family///You can go back and do that aftere you meet the Father as well..
Revelation describes what has been happening to me.. My feeling is to speak with Bob Marley "the Mighty God is a living Man" and we need to go through this process while alive// Heaven is not under the earth preacherman..
Love

Jesus is the way the hope and the light of your salvation. John 3:16, For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes in him shall not parish but have ever lasting life.
All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life.
Go to any church to speak with a minister. They can guide you! This being Wednesday, there is church service this evening. Go and enjoy!
Remember God loves you. Don't wait, or it could be too late!

Salvation is accepting that Jesus died for you and your sin and asking him to be a part of your life. And repenting of the sin in your life. It is here on this earth. And... my thoughts on enlightenment are many. Seems to me that people are trying to find the best way to live life in all religions they are searching. I simply choose to accept that I cannot do it on my own and that the Bible is truth.

The Bible says that he who endures to the end will be saved. That means, a person must try their best to walk in Jesus' footsteps until either God's Kingdom rules over the earth or that person dies. Enlightenment is best attained through prayer, meditation on what you read in the Bible and through the faithful and discreet slave.

Salvation is recieved through Christ dying on the cross and taking the punishment for our sins. It means that I we believe and follow Him, he has paid the punishment for our sins. This is referring to the fact that when our physical body dies our spiritual body will live on if we believe.
Since we have all sinned, nothing we do is enough to be with God forever, so Christ gives us salvation and all we have to do is accept.
