Salvation occurs in three tenses.
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

PAST SALVATION occurs in a Point In Time where we enter into journey.  This journey’s destination is secured by the finished work of Jesus and is obtained by our faith in this finished work. This journey occurs when God translates us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear son. You enter into this kingdom instantaneously, irreversibly and sometimes almost imperceptibly.  Once in this kingdom you become a permanent subject and are given a package of rights, privileges and protection of this kingdom

PRESENT SALVATION is a JOURNEY, a season, which is marked by your second birth and will end at some unknown time either at your exit from your body or at rapture of the church.  To understand present salvation we must understand what is included in this salvation package

I call it my inheritance package or my entitlement package as a believer in Jesus.  This salvation package consists of a list of from thirty to forty topics. 

Although there are many books available I try to explain this package from my perspective.  I will post this list and will try to write my understanding of this list.

SUMMARY:  PRESENT SALVATION is a journey of faith or a season of growth. To grow we need to cooperate with God.  Not everyone wants to change or grow.  
“  Some are vocal about their resistance to change as one person told me:  “I can’t change.” “I don’t want to change.” “  What are you going to about it.

Other people just ignore Scripture on growth.

FUTURE SALVATION is a place where you will not need to exercise faith.
