Luke 10:25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

Eternal LIFE is not salvation?

"Eternal LIFE is not salvation?"

Not necessarily...

Revelation 14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Salvation means salvation from death. Withouth salvation, we all go the way of any other animal. The only difference is that those not saved will be resurrected before the second and more permanent death. You are saved from that when you receive eternal life. So, from a Christian context, eternal life and salvation mean the same thing. You are given eternal life and that is your salvation from death.

And Jesus answer to the man was the key part:

“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
