There's no such thing as being bodily saved.
"..The one who perseveres to the end shall be saved"
You say the above statement as used by Jesus twice in Matthew, mean to be bodily saved. I have a question for you:
Q. Did Stephen's failure to persevere to the end the reason he was killed and could not be saved bodily?
This applies to all the disciples/Apostles - all of them got killed and non was saved bodily.

What a mess! So Christ did the works of the one who sent Him (God the Father) and by that Christ was saved? 
I did not realize that Christ needed to be saved. Also, he "defines" faith "as" works. Faith is faith and works are works. Works-salvationists cannot seem to grasp that.

John 10:37If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.

Matthew 24 is great tribulation context. Eternal salvation is not the context but physically enduring to the end and being ushered into the millennial kingdom.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Maybe I should clarify my question.
OBVIOUSLY, you can find passages dealing with people being saved from whatever in Scripture in an earthly sense. Heck, the whole Book of Exodus chronicles that.
I'm talking about passages like THIS:
Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
If this doesn't mean born again, saved from destruction, what DOES it mean?
