I am currently studying the teachings of the Christian Orthodox church. As I find important and interesting points in this theology, I will post them on this blog so I can "catalog" them and retain them for reference purposes. This is from an article entitled "Miles from the Truth, A Response to "Thema: Eastern Heterodoxy":
"The Orthodox Church teaches that we are saved only on the basis
of God’s grace. However, God himself has established conditions for us
to receive this grace, namely faith and works—the first of which must be
repentance. These conditions do not earn our salvation, but God nonetheless
requires them of us, and this is what the Scriptures and the Holy Fathers through
every century have taught. In fact, it is also what many Protestants teach."
I don't see a real problem with this.
