What does "saved" mean?
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13
Does the word saved mean "receive eternal life"? That is the concept
that is taught by Modern Christianity. Is it true?
The word saved means "delivered or protect". Thayers lexicon gives
this as the primary meaning: 1) to save, keep safe and sound, to
rescue from danger or destruction.
All men are condemned to death because all have sinned. But whosoever
will call upon the name - the power and authority of Jesus will be
rescued and delivered from the kingdom of Satan so they may repent and
become the children of God.
To be saved is the first step in the process of salvation. Those who
are saved do not have eternal life - but they can - if they will
continue on to true repentance. That is why Paul wrote:
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my
presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling." Phi 2:12
Being saved leads to salvation and receiving eternal life. And how
does one inherit eternal life?
"And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good
but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments." Mat 19:17
There can be no question which commandments Jesus meant because he
referred directly to the ten commandments!
We cannot be saved from the clutches of sin and Satan by any power of
our own - only by the grace of God which comes through believing in
Jesus.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:" Eph 2:8
Those who receive Jesus are given the power to become the children of
God - that power is the grace of God. They are not born of God until
they come to true repentance.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become
children of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:12
"But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved." Mat 24:13
To be saved we must endure to the end (Greek "goal reached") The goal
of those who believe in Jesus is to repent of sin and become the
children of God - those who are born of God.
To be saved is the first step in the process of receiving eternal
life. One can easily see the confusion in peoples minds if they are
taught that to be saved means to receive eternal life.

Most people at my church would disagree. Once one truely experiences the Hoky Spirit--are they saved? Most would say so. If not, at twhat point do they BECOME saved? How do you know in your walk with Christ, when you are truely worthy?

The apostle John wrote:
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth
hath not seen him, neither known him.
According to the apostle, most people at your church are deceived and
do not have the truth. No matter what they have been told, they do
not have the indwelling Holy Spirit --nor are they born-again. Here
the apostle makes a clear distinction between the children of God and
the children of the devil:
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither
he that loveth not his brother.
