According to the Bible, repentance and
baptism mark the beginning of the salvation
process, the time of a Christian’s commitment
to continue to serve God. The completion
of our salvation, as long as we remain in
this physical life, is yet in the future. As Jesus
said, “He who endures to the end shall be
saved” (Matthew 24:13).
Paul wrote, “. . . Having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through Him. For if when we were enemies
we were reconciled to God through the death
of His Son, much more, having been reconciled,
we shall be saved by His life” (Romans
5:9-10). Notice that Paul wrote in the future
tense:We will be saved. Our salvation is
not complete.
We must endure faithfully to the end of
our lives. Or, if we remain alive until Christ
returns to earth, we must endure until the time
of His coming. If a Christian at some time
during his life, after committing to serve God,
turns away and renounces Jesus and God’s
way in word or action, he will lose his
salvation—unless he repents of his error.
Jesus described such a situation. “. . . If that
evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is
delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his
fellow servants, and to eat and drink with
the drunkards, the master of that servant will
come on a day when he is not looking for him
and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will
cut him in two and appoint him his portion
with the hypocrites” (Matthew 24:48-51).
“Carousing with drunkards” can describe
the literal behavior of an errant Christian, or
it can be a metaphor for evil habits in general.
Drunkenness is sometimes used in the Bible
to symbolize those who are immersed in the
sinful attitudes and practices of the world.
Paul made it plain that a Christian can fall
away and even lose salvation. He wrote that
in his own life he found it necessary to practice
firm self-discipline, guarding against
the encroachment of sin, “lest, when I have
preached to others, I myself should become
disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27).
Once we commit our lives to obeying God,
the process of being saved has begun in us—
although it is still possible for us to fall away
(Luke 8:13). Paul said we will be saved if
we continue to the end while holding fast the
truth preached to us (1 Corinthians 15:2). Our
salvation is assured if we do. But our salvation
will be complete only at the second
coming of Christ—when “He will appear a
second time, apart from sin, for salvation”
(Hebrews 9:28).
Salvation—assuring eternal life—will
then go to those in the faith who have
endured and overcome. Those who are
engaged in this spiritual battle need not harbor
fears that they will fail to receive eternal
life. As we ask God for help, He will keep us
from stumbling (Jude 24). “If God is for us,
who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
Indeed, we can be “confident of this very
thing, that He who has begun a good work
in you will complete it until the day of Jesus
Christ” (Philippians 1:6).

Well yeah, if the I knew that your house was going to blow up with you in it and prevented you from dying that would be an act of salvation.

Of course you are probably referring to the "salvations of souls" from "hell" as part of the fundamentalist belief system and there you will find as many versions of what that is as you will find different religions in the world.

They all have their specific "requirements" for getting saved and so on...

Knowing you are a born again christian and going to have eternal life because of the sacrifice Jesus made.

Salvation is when church folks will float into the sky and call down "I told you so!"

Then they will smirk and giggle all the way to their heaven, only to find out they have to praise Jesus nonstop.

Religious salvation? Yes, it is a concept people came up with in order to get others to believe what they believed and adhere to their faith strictly and not question it.

Yes,

ETERNAL LIFE:
"God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - (Jn. 3:16)


"But as many as received him (Jesus), TO THEM he gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his name, which were born.... not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God"- (John 1:12)

"Except a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God" _ Jesus

Oh yes, saved from eternal death, which really is being separated from our father in heaven. It is called the 2nd death.
