"The order of salvation" - election, foreknowledge, predestination, redemption, regeneration, justification, sanctification, glorification - see especially Romans 8:29-30 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Romans%208.29-30)).
Foreknowledge: God's knowing (in this sense) prior to salvation those who would be saved.
Predestination: God's choosing before time all who would be saved.
Election: God's choosing of all who would be saved.
Regeneration: God's renewing of one's life (not physically - but as opposed to the spiritual death caused by sin) (Titus 3:5 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Titus%203.5)).
Evangelism: The communication of the Gospel by which one can be saved (Matthew 28:19 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Matthew%2028.19)).
Faith: Belief and trust in the message of the Gospel (Ephesians 2:8-9 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Ephesians%202.8-9)).
Conversion: One's turning to God based on the Gospel (Acts 26:18 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%2026.18)).
Perseverance: One's continued true belief - remaining in the state of salvation (Jude 1:24 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Jude%201.24)).
Repentance: Changing one's mind from rejection of Christ to faith in Christ (Acts 26:20 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%2026.20)).
Justification: God's freeing of one from the penalty of sin - the pronouncement of "not guilty" on a sinner (Romans 5:9 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Romans%205.9)).
Sanctification: God's separation of one from the lure of sin (2 Timothy 2:21 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20Timothy%202.21)).
Glorification: God's final removal of all sin from the life and presence of one (in the eternal state) (Romans 8:18 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Romans%208.18); 2 Corinthians 4:17 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20Corinthians%204.17)).
