| pulpitandpen.org/2017/04/10/the-bible-answer-man-hank-hanegraaff-leaves-the-christian-faith/This is the same guy who on the air denounced baptismal regeneration (rightfully so). Pride goeth before a fall. Hank joins a cult. Now he is surrounded in church by unregenerate throngs who believe in the power of the Eucharist and that Mary intercedes for us |

| Somewhere Dr. Walter Martin weeps. I had a lengthy discussion with an EO member a couple of years ago. He let me know clearly that until I joined the GO I was outside of salvation and not a Christian. This is what makes HH's decision to be so scary |

| Are the Greek Orthodox not Christians? I don't know. I'm not really familiar with them. |

| The Hanergraaff story is all over the net on multiple sights. I picked one at random. As for your other points, one would have to closely examine the teachings of those churches and come to their own conclusions as to whether or not their explanation is biblical as it relates to how one can be saved. Paul makes it clear in Titus 3:5there is one thing alone that saves us, washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. We have the narrative of Acts to show us how that experience was received in the first century church |

| Well, I wasn't really trying to pick on that particular website necessarily, though I think some of the names there triggered my memory as being of the Reformed or Calvinistic persuasion, and I just happened to read an article yesterday by Roger Olson who claimed that some of the younger set of Calvinists seem to think that Arminians are not truly saved.www.patheos.com/blogs/rogereolson/2017/04/4672/ |

| I like a lot about the Orthodox church, and there is a lot that I don't like. I wouldn't go as far as to say they aren't Christians though. Especially in times like this when they and Coptics (very similar) are the subjects of great persecution and martyrdom. Yes they might make some claims about other believers that are harsh (and wrong), but which denomination doesn't? |

| Two longtime close friends of mine left the CoG for Eastern Orthodoxy back in the 1990s. I will say it is better than the Roman Catholic Church, in my opinion, and if I were ever to join a 'high church' tradition, I would definitely be much more inclined to join the EO than the RCC or Anglican Church. The issues are much the same with all of these high church traditions, in my view: 'Holy Tradition' over Scripture, prayers to Mary and other departed saints, sacramentalism, sacerdotalism, apostolic successionism, and so forth. The EO do seem to have the most beautiful iconography and architecture in their churches. They do insist, like Catholics, that they are THE original New Testament Church, but they generally do accept the fact that there may be real Christians in other Christian traditions.A good article on EO by a Protestant scholar who has specialized in the study of EO may be found at the following link: www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1997/january6/7t1032.html |

| We as Pentecostals must keep in focus that our roots are in primitive Christianity. Certainly we don't get every point right, but I say without hesitation that we are the closest to what the first century church embraced doctrinally. I had a Catholic admit to me the other day that much of what they teach was not taught by the first century church, but that the church received a progressive revelation over time |
