What is salvation?

Lets look at what the world believes Salvation is..

In religion, salvation is the concept that Adonai or other Higher Power, as part of Divine Providence, "saves" humanity from spiritual death or eternal damnation by providing for them an eternal life (cf. afterlife). Salvation has been termed the major theme of the Christian Bible, however the biggest problem is the corruption of the Christian Bible, by the fraudulent adoption of the pagan religion of zeus and the deception practiced by the deceiver, (lucifer) read more

Some world religions have the notion that humanity needs salvation from its present condition since humanity does not manifest its purpose of existence and therefore in some sense is "lost."
Christianity regards salvation as liberation from the bondage of sin and re-establishing a personal communion with Adonai.

In Christianity Jesus is the source of salvation and faith in his saving power is stressed sadly they are deceived, read why

Eastern religions tend to stress self-help through individual discipline and practice, sometimes over the course of many lifetimes, though in Mahayana Buddhism bodhisattva and certain buddhas may act as intervening divine agents.
Mainstream sects of Buddhism believe that an individual is born into a state of samsara which is analogous to original sin in the sense that the soul is "lost" at the moment of birth

Author Ernest Valea suggests three aspects as important to analyze in assessing the meaning of salvation to a particular religion:

• The resources needed for attaining salvation
• The actual way of getting saved and
• The meaning of being saved.
  
  The theological study of salvation is called soteriology. It covers the means by which salvation is effected or achieved, and its results. Salvation may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects. By its nature salvation must answer to the plight of humanity as it actually is, offering individuals redemption from slavery to sin, forgiveness from guilt, reconciliation for alienation and "renewal for a marred image of Adonai."

In Buddhism, the problem is suffering and the solution is the Noble Eightfold Path. In some forms of Hinduism, the problem is the cycle of reincarnation and the solution is Self-realization.
Some religions claim that salvation can be attained by using only inner human resources such as meditation, accumulation of wisdom, asceticism, rituals, or good deeds.
Other religions teach that humans can be saved only through the grace granted by an external personal agent (Adonai, a bodhisattva, an avatar, etc.) One’s duty is to recognize the impossibility of being saved by one's own efforts, and therefore accept grace unconditionally.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints defines the term salvation in two distinct ways, based on the teachings of their modern-day prophet Joseph Smith, as recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants.
The general Christian belief that salvation means returning to the presence of Adonai and Jesus Christ is similar to the way the word is used in the Book of Mormon, wherein the prophet Amulek teaches that through the "great and last sacrifice" of the Son of Adonai, "he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on his name; ... to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance. And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice;" (Alma 34:14-16)

However we need to bare in mind the deception of the Christian religion, where pagan festivals and changing of the word of Adonai is common place read more
