Redemption and Salvation are the same; Just as compared to Faith and Works........they do not oppose but complement, one without the other equals death. Separate redemption and salvation might have individual definitions, yet both can describe the same thing. Example I can be a husband and a father and this statement is based upon truth, yet I do not necessarily have to be a father to be a husband, yet both can accurately describe the fact that I am a man.
The problem with making a blanket statement about any one descriptive word being inadequate is the reality found in the Word of God.
All these terms are equally related to Salvation as described in the Word of God. 1. Saved 2. Redeemed (which literally means a debt is paid in full.........Jesus, not man provides REDEMPTION, as the scriptures declare ALL MEN SIN.......from a peasant to a pope) 3. Forgiven 4. Sins blotted out 5. Take away sins 6. Wash away sins 7. Purified 8. Cleansed 9. Reconciled 10. Delivered 11. A new life 12. Escaped 13. Released.....these are but a few words and phrases that define SALVATION as recorded in the Word of God.
There is a sin that even Jesus Christ cannot provide REDEMPTION.......the unforgivable sin. The Sin that willfully continues with premeditation, Even Jesus cannot be hung on the cross 2x to redeem (pay for) the sin that continues after Jesus cleansed your soul once. When you attempt to be justified by the law alone.....once saved always saved is a logical fallacy not found in the Word of God.
I find it funny that the majority of those who self define as being a Christian party all week, commit the same sins daily and think they can be redeemed on a weekly basis because a supposed priest forgives their sin.....again and again.
