I realize that you (Greek) Orthodox think you’re the original and only true “Church” but you’re not.
All professing, baptized Christians are in the body of believers.
I’ve talked with a Greek Orthodox priest here, and he wanted to argue about petty, infinitesimal wordings of prayers, creeds and Bible passages as translated from the Greek, Latin or Hebrew that he believed invalidated my faith....
what a waste!
Long story short, I found no conflict in the Baptist Church with the Holy Bible and more importantly, Jesus came into my heart and I was baptized there in the Holy Spirit and that is what matters.
And it’s not for you to say differently.
Neither Christianity nor the Church can be confined to a particular sect or denomination but are to be found in human hearts and souls and where one or more are gathered in Christ’s name.
You asked the question. I said it was off topic. You insisted on an answer, and now you won’t bother to read it. The issue of Sola Scriptura is not a petter incidental matter—it is the key issue that separates Protestants from both Roman Catholics and the Orthodox. Your view of the Church is not consistent with that held by the early Church, thus my original statement that Baptists have departed from the Christian Tradition in many areas.
See the Nicene Creed, and St. Cyprian’s (an early hieromartyr of the Church, who was martyred in the year 258) treatise on the Unity of the Church: http://orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/inq_church.aspx
You are free to believe what you wish, but you will not find anyone who shared your belief prior to the Protestant reformation—and many of your beliefs you will not find prior to the 19th century.
