Be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Obedience to God's Word is, the only way to stay in constant fellowship with the Father, and live life successfully as a Christian. Salvation can best be defined as deliverance from all curses, including death. Thus, salvation cannot be limited to the inital stage of redemption which is the forgiveness of sins. Salvation is used in the New Testament to describe material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension.
Deliverance menas a release from bondage, imprisonment and liberation from captivity.
Salvation does not mean that one is perfect. The price has already been paid by the blood of Jesus Christ. It should be understood that savation is a process that requires effort. The bible says in the book of Mark, chapter four that the sower soweth the Word. As the Word is sown, Satan comes to apply the test.
