Salvation has two sides

Saved From What?

ACTS 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

When we quote this scripture is it clear from what one will be saved. Is this like the SAVE button on WORD? Does it simply stop any further changes until we can get back to our lives? Are we certain that those we speak to about the saving Grace of our Savior fully comprehend what we mean?

In Luke 16 [Lazarus and the Rich Man] the Savior tells us clearly what fate awaits those who don't call on His name. He also tells us that there is no crossing over once your fate is cast. We know that Hell and eternal damnation are considered too harsh for some congregations but that doesn't make them any less real.

Let's make clear just exactly what SALVATION means. It isn't a temporary thing like the SAVE button. It isn't something to be taken lightly and, more to the point, there are two sides to SALVATION. On the inside you get the "mansion" Jesus went to prepare on the other you get toasted.
