What Happens When People Get Saved?

This video based from Song of Solomon chapters 6 and 7, explains what should be the priority of the Christian who understands what will be the priority of the Lord.

It seems like you are using "church" the way I use the word denomination. Christians are "called out" [ ecclesia ] of the world system into the kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God is a form of government, not a religion. The denominations do not teach this but instead preach division of God's people into warring factions and the people suffer under man's governments.
Salvation has three parts: justification, sanctification and glorification. Justification happens once when you are cleansed by the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Sanctification happens on a daily basis when we walk as He walked having the Law written on our hearts. Glorification happens at the resurrection.
We are saved in our spirit [ mind ] in our soul [ life ] and ultimately in our [ new ] body.
God Bless You, brother.

This is a basic difference of understanding. The one that has been the crux of the division between Catholics/Protestants and Baptists ever since Jesus founded the church. The Catholic/Protestant sees all Christians as belonging to a universal church. The Catholic sees it as one universal church on earth. The Protestant sees it as one universal, invisible church. Baptists contend that the Bible only expresses one sort of church, a local body of believers called out of this world, baptized by immersion into that local assembly and joined together in the common purpose of fulfilling the great commission.
Thanks for your comments.

I agree with your comment here. I would say the sole reason for this division is that we are trying to insert another "Bride" instead of being "grafted into" the existing one. Israel was an unfaithful spouse, but is to be redeemed towards the end, according to the Bible. There should be no other "church" or "ecclesia" outside of the Bride.
Now when I say "grafted in" as does the bible, I by no means mean that we should "become" Jewish, or follow Rabbinic Judaism or the Babylonian Talmud.

I have addressed much of this already.

. Especially in the comments below the video.

I was unaware of this video. The Bible states the Sabbath as being forever, even to be observed during the 1000 year reign. The Apostles still observed the Sabbath. I have yet to see anything that says the Sabbath was abolished or replaced, other than doctrine and edicts that originated with the Catholic Church.
Lucifer of course would have an interest in getting us to break as many commandments as possible. If sin is defined in the Bible as the transgression of the Law, but the Law is done away with, how do we define sin? Would not the Man of Sin try to trick us into NOT following the Law, and thus leading us to sin?
I don't proscribe to Messianic Judaism either, although admittedly, I haven't looked into this movement or doctrine.

Good post... few are aware that the word "church" is NOT in the Bible. Ecclesia is the correct term for the Bride. It does NOT translate into "church", rather into "called out ones".

"Now, let's look at the word, "ecclesia". This Greek word appears in the New Testament approximately 115 times. That's just in this one grammatical form. It appears also in other forms. And in every instance, except three, it is wrongly translated as "church" in the King James Version. Those three exceptions are found in Acts 19:32, 39, 41. In these instances the translators rendered it "assembly" instead of "church." But, the Greek word is exactly the same as the other 112 entries where it was changed to "church" wrongly.

In Acts 19, "ecclesia" is a town council: a civil body in Ephesus. Thus, the translators were forced to abandon their fake translation in these three instances. Nonetheless, 112 times they changed it to "church." This fact has been covered-up under centuries of misuse and ignorance. The Greek word "ecclesia" is correctly defined as: "The called-out (ones)" [ECC = out; KALEO = call]. Thus, you can see how this word was used to indicate a civil body of select (called, elected) people. "
