Well this is quite an odd site. I wanted to comment on something this person who made this blog said. At some point he says that his parish priest said that the Lutheran (his former religion) baptism was gracefilled, and Orthodox Chrismation completed it. But, if Lutheranism was gracefilled why leave the Lutheran Church? If someone leaves a religion, it is due because he finds it graceless no? Then Orthodoxy wouldn't have its validity of the Most Holy and True Church on Earth. It's a little frightening when you can see the part where it says, you don't need to get rebaptised again, just get chrismated and start communing... I wonder, is this how must Prelest exist in the World, that people today, don't realize how important is the sanctity of the Church? With all due respect to Metropolitan Philip of the Arabs, but this is nonsense...

I agree with Tom on this one...I don't think bringing this up here was very appropriate...if it bothered you so much, maybe just a private email to the author would suffice...

I didn't mean anything about his soul. Of course not. But I mean, the thinking that Antiochians believe in. Meaning, the thought of not baptising and just chrismating. Of course, it's this sad mentality (not one person's but of a group's) that bothers me, not the person and his love for his bishop.

I did not mean to imply that you did. I was just saying "why be so concerned what others are doing"?
