Your Own Salvation
aqrinc:
Hi TheRysta,
Salvation is of course unique to each individual, if you are not saved; then you do not have salvation. Thus a moot point as far as uniqueness is concerned.
GOD And our Lord Jesus Christ Being The Author And Finisher of every created beings Salvation is Unique to The Authors in that sense Also. Thus The Scripture says:
Act 4:12 (MKJV)
And there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Act 4:12 (CLV)
And there is no salvation in any other one, for neither is there any other name, given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved."
2Ti 3:15 (CLV)
and that from a babe you are acquainted with the sacred scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1Th 5:9 (CLV)
for God did not appoint us to indignation, but to the procuring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
george. :)

Eph 4:1-6
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
1 Cor 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Pet 4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
John 17:23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me [NIV]
We are complete in Christ [Col 2:10]...I don't know if I would call it a 'set phenomenon'. A phenomenon refers to 'an unusual or abnormal thing' (not true in regards to salvation) or 'an event susceptible to scientific explanation or description' (also not true in regards to salvation) [definitions from Merrian-Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/phenomenon]
All humanity must die to the flesh...all humanity must be baptized in Christ's death...all humanity must call upon the name of the Lord...etc. We all must overcome sin...these things are not unique in the overall sense though a person may suffer from a particular sin more so or less so than another individual.
Hope this helps,
Marques
