The terms "saved" and "salvation" occur throughout Hebrews.  Before instantly interpreting them as referring to eternal salvation, consider the following facts:

1)  Man can be saved from a variety of things in the Bible.  (e.g. a storm on the sea.)

Q.        What consequences of Adam%u2019s fall are resolved simply through faith in Christ?

A.        The curse of physical corruption and death is resolved by the resurrection.  Eternal life is resolved by the regeneration.  Separation from a Holy God through the guilt of sin is resolved by the cross.  We receive all of these through simple faith in Christ.

Q.        What consequences of Adam%u2019s fall are not revolved simply through faith in Christ?

A.        Dominion over the earth, including every animal and plant (Gen. 1:28-30).  A symbol of Adam%u2019s dominion was the right of naming all the animals (Gen. 2:19-20).  But the ground was cursed with thorns and thistles after the fall (Gen. 3:18-19).  However, the privilege of ruling over the world to come is not the product of simple once and for all saving faith in Christ.   Dominion is a reward for those who are faithful.  (Luke 19:11-27, Hebrews passim)

It is important to keep this in mind when we see the term "salvation" or "saved" in Hebrews.  Whether the tem refers to eternal salvation, or inheritance, depends on the context.  As noted with the "summary verses" above, many times, the use of the word "salvation" or "saved" may be reasonably consistent with either meaning.  It is up to the intellectual honesty and desire for truth of the individual reader that determines the weight of evidence in each case.
