Snippet from Internet:
Broadly speaking, one might say that salvation is the overriding theme of the entire Bible. But since it is a multidimensional theme with a wide range of meaning, simple definitions are impossible. The biblical writers speak of salvation as a reality with at once spiritual and physical, individual and communal, objective and subjective, eternal and historical dimensions. Since the biblical writers view salvation as a historical reality, the temporal dimensions of past, present, and future further intensify and deepen the concept. Salvation is a process with a beginning and an end. Further, salvation involves the paradox of human freedom and divine election. Despite the complexity of these dimensions, the Bible constantly speaks about salvation in the context of some very simple and concrete relationships — between humans and God, between human beings, and between human beings and nature.
On the other hand "salvation" can be defined as being transferred into Christ's spiritual body. Thus the person is described as being "in Christ." This does not mean being into His teachings, or promises, or some other ethereal concept, but refers simply and plainly as be spiritually relocated from being spiritually "in Adam" or "in the realm of darkness" to being located spiritually within Christ and being sealed within Him such that we are "in Christ" and He is "in us."
