salvation comes to us in three tenses:
we have been saved from the penalty of sin
we are being saved from the power of sin
we will one day be saved from the presence of sin
would you like the Scriptures?

Past completed action with present continuing results...
Had eternal life when I believed, am currently having eternal life in the present and will continue to have eternal life into the future for sure
You are missing the point and are still applying works as part of salvation...salvation is a completed transaction between God and men for the sake of Jesus Christ......Works do not add to our salvation as it is a once for all act....Works do not supplement what Christ has already done...Works do not keep us saved, but are the evidences of a biblical redemption (buy back) that is found in Christ...
An apple tree is an apple tree LONG before it bears the apples...as a matter of fact and apple tree starts with the SEED (being born of incorruptible seed) and grows into a tree (matures) and then BEGINS to bear fruit....it is rather simple and is the basics of what is taught......Just like the tree...we are BORN into the Kingdom of God and just as a babe matures and then begins to walk and talk like a human we are born into God's Kingdom by faith and mature and then begin to bear fruit as we mature!

Look here sea perch.....If you are willing to deny the simple definitions of the words used, will in the end lead you to faulty conclusions....the word OBEY means to pay heed to, pay attention to and to be attentive to...
PAUL and company PAID ATTENTION to the form of doctrine that had been delivered unto them...so I did respond and you blindly with your coke bottle glasses on rejected the truth of the definition of the word OBEY..so like I said man...good luck claiming your COC works for salvation when you stand before the Lord and he denies you entrance into the kingdom.....maybe you can ask Alexander Campbell to mediate for you and see if that helps or claim that is what the commentary said.......!

Kind of like the Aorist tense verb in John 3:16

if the root starts with L then it is reduplicated to show perfect; root Lu-, perfect LeLu-;
root graph, perfect gegraph-;
root krat-, perfect kekrat-
root so, perfect seso- (so- = root for save)
Eph 2 " χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι" = by grace you are having been saved (periphrastic perfect tense).
I indeed am thankful that the issue was settled in my past and that the salvation continues in the present.
He who began a good work in you will complete it.

Okay, I will do that. Finally someone with a question without name calling. Since there are several people on this board who despise works and think they have nothing to do with salvation I will list a few of these important Scriptures.
Rom. 2:6; Matt. 16:27; James 2:24; Rev. 20:12; Matt. 7:21; Heb. 5:8-9; 2nd Cor. 5'10; yes, I realize there are a lot of scriptures that just mention faith. But you have to consider all of Gods word not just part of it.
