the process of salvation? Should we speak about an order of salvation here, involving a series of successive steps? Is it true, for example, that justification follows conversion, sanctification follows justification, and perseverance follows sanctification? Obviously, this is not so. Conversion includes faith and repentance, and one is justified by faith and at the time of faith, not at some time after one has come to faith. That justification and sanctification are simultaneous has been shown above.
