The spirit, body and soul

When the Bible speaks of salvation it could refer any of two things: 1) The election of people from the dark to the light, (1 Peter 2:9)2) The freedom from the punishment in the lake of fire (Rev 20:14-15.)
[b]The Election processes:[/b]
[quote="Mark 16:15-16"]Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.[/quote]
The first step is the preaching process. The one being saved should undergo indoctrination. The preacher is a duly commissioned minister (not self-appointed,) but Jesus chose them (John 15:16.) A preacher is a fake preacher if he is not sent (Romans 10:15) by God to preach.
Why did Jesus said that in order to be saved one must not only believe but should be baptized as well? Simply because baptism is a part of the Christian doctrine (Heb 6:2) that requires work. This work is the proof that one believes the "doctrine of baptisms." The reason why James said "I will show you my faith by my works." (James 2:18) If one disbelieves in this required work of salvation, Jesus said, he shall be condemned.
Faith shown by work (first is baptism) gives you salvation. Baptism is also the one that makes one who has undergone indoctrination free from the sense of sin before God. They are cleansed of all their sins.
[quote="1 Peter 3:21"]And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead; [/quote]
They are both sanctified and justified (past tense) at the time they were washed. The Bible did not say that sanctification is "page by page."
[quote="1 Cor 6:11"]and such were some of you: but you have been washed, you have been sanctified, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the spirit of our God. [/quote]
"Sin no more" (John 5:14; John 8:11) is one of Jesus commands. Paul, reminding those indoctrinated and baptized members into the Church of Christ, said:
[quote="Eph 4:17-24"]You have certainly heard his message and have been taught his ways. The truth is in Jesus. 22 [b]You were taught to change the way you were living.[/b] The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you. 23 However, you were taught to have a new attitude. 24 You were also [b]taught to become a new person created to be like God, truly righteous and holy.[/b][/quote]
This teachings of Jesus should be accomplished. They should get rid of every sin.
[quote="Eph 4:25-32"]25 So then, [b]get rid [/b]of lies. Speak the truth to each other, because we are all members of the same body. 26 Be angry [b]without sinning[/b]. Don't go to bed angry. 27 Don't give the devil any opportunity {to work}. 28 Thieves [b]must quit [/b]stealing and, instead, they must work hard. They should do something good with their hands so that they'll have something to share with those in need. 29 Don't say anything that would hurt {another person}. Instead, [b]speak only what is good [/b]so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you. 30 [b]Don't give God's Holy Spirit any reason to be upset with you.[/b] He has put his seal on you for the day you will be set free {from the world of sin}. 31 [b]Get rid [/b]of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarreling, cursing, and hatred. 32 Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ. [/quote]
They did not say "reduce your sinning," niether they say "slowly stop sinning." Because if they did, no one will be fully sancified at the day of judgment. No one will be truly righteous and holy, like God. Example, if you reduce your sinning to 5% each month, will it ever get to zero? No!
Jesus said "sin no more,"Paul said get rid of every sin, Peter said stop sinning.
One is already sanctified once baptized, thus if a person go back to sinning he becomes like a pig or dog.
If one continues his sinning, the Bible said the Holy Spirit will be upset. One should never fall away from Jesus' commands and teachings. Why?
[quote="Heb 6:4-6"]For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. [/quote]

[b]The salvation in the day of judgment[/b]
Now, it is required for the elect to remain holy until the end doing only what is good in order to be saved in the day of Judgment. Why? Because it is the works that will determine if one is saved or not. The function of faith ends when the reason for believing is already at hand. At the day of Judgment it is your works that will bring you to condemnation or salvation.
[quote="Rev 20:14-15"]And all were judged according to their deeds. And Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if any one was found who was not written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.[/quote]
If one can not cease from sin, he will be cursed (2 Peter 2:14.) And cursed people will be thrown into the lake of fire (Matt 25:41-42)
What will happen to those baptized members who will remain faithful and holy (despite all the hardships in life) till the end?
[quote="Matt 24:13"]But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. [/quote]
