I think Revelations makes it very clear, some will be found worthy to wear the white robes even in the churches where great error seems to be......thank God for "the few"

He is under the mistaken impression that because miracles have occurred in the great Orthodox Church, for 2000 years, that it disproves the Spirit of miracles in the Protestant Churches.

Hopefully he will learn as he matures as a Christian.

No, the OP is issuing a direct attack on Protestants, which is not really the smartest thing to do as it pretty much insults those who do not hit up a vestibule. It isn't origins theology, but rather Christian procedure and one can expect to be criticized in a different light. If I made a thread with something like 'ouches of Catholicism', for example, I would expect the same.
There is no reason to single out Protestants when the Roman and Greek churches present a mighty schism themselves.

I love muslims since they are my neighbor on planet Earth, I don't love islam that sends them to Hell. I love Protestants that are my neighbor, don't love Protestantism that don't give them food for eternal life and don't give them confessions so if they do abortions and see the faces of killed babies they have hard time erasing that sin while in Eastern orthodox Church this is very simple with confession. The problem is that some people are emotionally attached by false information that sends them into trouble. If I show islam to be false the muslims may give me a run even if they will give me hi 5 once they depart on the other world.
MK 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
see I believe this shows any religion that has no baptism as bad religion, that send people into condemnation and not baptized people comming from death say they are comming from HEll. They believe they were not good enough when the problem is the bad religion all along and actually because the religion is bad they did not go to Heaven. Being similarly good in Eastern orthodox Church they may go to HJeaven with no problemo. Being good gives them a better place in Hell but because of no baptism they were to Hell.

I so love Protestants that I take a stand so they can see the truth. If nobody knowing the truth does not take a stand, how can they return from error? They can live 100 years and if nobody tell then they don't know what they're missing. This stand may happen for people here once in lifetime so take ikt seriously and run FOR YOUR IMMORTALITY. Don't take it easy.
Jesus established Early Church in year 33. Eastern Orthodox Church has the same doctrine as Early Church and this can be proved with historical documents and everything that changed significantly doctrine had to go outside of Eastern Orthodox Church being megadont or nanodont.

If Bible verses would be pieces of mosaic, every denominations builds its own beautiful image and would be fullish to try to say is not beautiful. The question is, Is this image true? Is this image the image that Apostles and Early Church had. To respond to that people need to go into the Historical documents that are valid and dismissed by Protestantism as tradition. Read the Historical documents and this will set you free.

"JAS 5:16 Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective. "
I hope healed = forgiven.

That soul is russian thus eastern orthodox christian because of the language spoken in video.

For example , in my understanding , the Church deemed iconoclasm as being error. Apostle Luke was painter of icons and Jesus put his face on a napkin he sent to King Abgar of Edessa. How may denominations stay away from iconoclasm error and do not consider it being a virtue? If you were taught to name bad as good and good as bad in one place, is this the only one place? Maybe a place that teaches good as bad and bad as good is NOT a safe place for your eternal life and entrance to Heaven.

Many ouches. Maybe one chance in lifetime to get things straight.

Jesus has said that whomever usses his name drives away sick angels so this goes across all religions. Also in Old Testament were miracles even before Moses time. So I have no doubt that there are miracles in Protestantism since God responds to prayers.
So there are miracles in 30 000 conflicting truths. This does not automatically makes 30 000 conflicting truths as the TRUTH. But MOST MIRACLES and MOST POWERFULL MIRACLES ARE IN EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH. The miracles associated with events in the B ible that were in Early Church, Holy Light, Jordan River, are today in eastern Orthodox Church and if another denominations come for miracle, the miracle does not come to them.

Black sheep. However I believe beliefs are accurate. If you can teach me where I do error, please do not hesitate to correct me.

This is where black sheep is comming from.

I was impressed by Protestantism how they help the poor that I really believed that God is there. So I was thinking, if God is in Protestantism what I am doing not in Church of God. Black sheep had a problem as there were 30 000 denominations and even the black sheep would not buy THE TRUTH is in 30 000 conflicting truths. So I was thinking. Can it be the denomination richer and with most men where truth is? Nope, since Arianism had that.

So black sheep was thinking that God must know the truth. So I prayed and I asked God where the best religion for salvation is and I had a thought saying something like: I send Holy Light every year to eastern orthodox Church since there is the truth.

Since then I need no more Protestantism.

Then I had a thought saying, either you help this guy or you die. So I prayed for God to let me know the miracles of Orthodoxy so I can present the guy with a case .So this is how I know miracles of God for Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

So after that I prayed that I would know the truth about all religions as God see them and I figured out that without baptism after death probably bye bye to Hell. And now I post a sign letting people know about this.

I do recoommend everyone to pray:
Dear God please force me and humanity to salvation without ANY pain and please force Creation to restoration without ANY pain and please show me and humanity the truth of all religions,.
