MJH,
I'm afraid I would have to disagree as even in the case of the secular and objective world of "Wikipedia" the definition of salvation is pretty clear as follows...
Within religion salvation is the phenomenon of being saved from the undesirable condition of bondage or suffering experienced by the psyche or soul that has arisen as a result of unskillful or immoral actions generically referred to as sins. Salvation may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects. Salvation is a concept common to most of the world's great religions and is in many respects the principal goal of religious practice. Depending on the religious tradition, salvation is considered to be caused either by the free will and grace of God (Theistic religion) or by personal responsibility and self-effort (e.g. the sramanic and yogic traditions of India). Religions often emphasize the necessity of both personal effort (e.g. repentance and asceticism) and divine action.
And since we're on a Bible Study Forum with participation with serious Bible students, I would further state that we all agree salvation from God Almighty is only available through one single avenue as stated by Jesus Himself...
Jn 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Now true enough Jesus did heal a multitude of folks with many different and varied problems, including diseses and demons. But if I remember correctly, He only said those "magic words" indicating being saved to the thief on the cross (and him only)...
Lk 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Can you tell me the Bible scripture that would indicate an alternate definition of salvation? And remember now, we are talking about those whom Jesus saved.
Please advise and go with God in all things.
Bill
