How many Salvations again?

The banner sign of the Primitive Baptist denomination is "Two Salvations". There is one eternal salvation, say they, all of God’s grace in which all of the elect share. Yet there is another salvation, it is claimed, accomplished by the works of men (i.e. temporal Arminianism). This salvation is totally optional to the regenerate child of God. If he gets it, he will simply experience a temporal blessing in this life. If he doesn’t---well, no big deal. He will only suffer a temporal judgment from God.

It was part of my growing skepticism when I was subject to this teaching to question a certain aspect of it. Before I thrust off this system altogether as a modern heresy, I first began to have doubts that “Two Salvations” was itself the best way to describe it. I did not think that it was a sufficient description of Hardshellism as it did not take into account all the many passages in the Bible which supposedly spoke of a temporal deliverance. Given the number of scriptures used by elders to treat of a time salvation, I wondered “Are these all part of the same time salvation scheme, or are they separate salvations within themselves? Are there only two salvations taught in scripture, or a half dozen or more?”

Here are some of the various things I was taught, and which are still being taught to the deceived church members. Apart from eternal salvation…

1) There is a salvation in believing the gospel.
2) There is a salvation in obeying the Lord.
3) There is a salvation in calling on the Lord.
4) There is a salvation in baptism.
5) There is a salvation in repentance.

And perhaps others.

Now the question we would like to ask our moderns is this. Are these all part of the same ONE time salvation, or does each one constitute a separate time salvation within itself? If they are separate, does this mean that TWO salvations does not really capture Hardshellism, when there is actually much more than this? If they are part of the same ONE time salvation, is there a timely ordo salutis which shows how these things line-up with each other? Is there a step-by-step order similar to Campbellism in which time salvation is to be achieved? Must one first hear the gospel, believe it, be baptized, call on the Lord, and then repent?

Or is there another order?

Just how exactly does this thing work?

It is the lack of any thorough systematic presentation of time salvation in which the above questions were answered that made me to question, and eventually cast off this system as a confusing scheme for someone desiring a clear-cut soteriology.

In this posting, I am therefore questioning the trademark sign of Hardshellism.
