The pretrib rapture... Jesus Christ comes as a thief...

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. -1 Thessalonians 5:2

A thief does not come in times looked for and neither does the Lord Jesus Christ. Which is why we pre-tribbers stress to be ready for it, for...

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. - Matthew 24:44
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. - Luke 12:40

Yes. The Orthodox have several errant beliefs, but why make a big deal of that today? Most of these errors are over secondary issues, so I don't see your point. Are you ridding yourself of them? Is this an open confession of sorts?

You also list some common errors of western evangelicals, which I would agree with are errors, but isn't it better to focus on what Christians have in common?

Of course, those who don't read of various scholars and theologians, wouldn't hold to many of your above mentioned beliefs, therefore they would have far fewer doctrinal errors.
Paul did warn us about such in 1cor ch1

Drop off a lot of truth and pick up a lot of error? Not what I have planned for today. Nope.

Primacy - Not sure what this is.
filioque clause (and the Son)- or this
Purgatory - I have never believed this, it's false.
Indulgences- I have never accepted this either, also false.
beleif in hell as a physical place- The Bible says it is, so I believe it.
Dispensationalism- I think that there is reason, from Scripture, to accept some form of God progressively revealing Himself and His plan of salvation to mankind. But I haven't don't enough research on this view to speak adequately about it.
disbelief in the Trinity- Nope. I believe in the Triune God.
belief in a pretribulation Rapture- I am "post-trib."
belief that we can't fall from grace-God saves us and keeps us saved.
Prosperity Gospel - I reject it.
belief in a 1000 year reign on earth-I believe the Bible says there will be, but it is also something I need to study more.
hellfire and damnation preaching-People need to know the truth about Hell, but I do believe this kind of preaching can border on unBiblical and go too far when it is all that is focused on.
belief that Icons are Idols-The Bible says they are, so I believe they are.
praying to Mary is wrong- Praying to Mary is wrong. We are not to contact the dead, and I do not believe someone who has been dead for 2,000 years (even though she was indeed "blessed among women") can hear any prayers, unless she is somehow omniscient and/or omnipresent, qualities which belong to God alone. We should pray only to God.
depravity of man-Without Christ, man has no hope, because even our "good" deeds won't be enough to save us.
just the bible and me-and the Holy Spirit, and the fellowship of all true believers, as we encourage one another in our faith.
infallability of scriptures- They are infallible. The Bible is the inspired word of God. An immeasurably precious gift.
infalable personal translation of scriptures- I don't believe anyone is personally infallible.
belief that the Holy Spirit leads us individually in interpreting scripture- He does.
Predestination - I don't believe in predestination, I believe we do have free will and can choose to accept or reject Christ.
belief that works do not assist our salvation- They don't. We are saved by grace, through faith, not of works. Good works follow, after salvation.
disbelief in prayers for the dead-I don't believe in praying for the dead.
disbelief in prayers to Saints- I don't believe in praying to the dead.
disbelief in infant baptism- Baptism should follow a true profession of faith. It is an outward proclamation of faith in what Christ has done and an identification with His death, burial and resurrection.
Refusal to recognize any form of liturgical worship- I'm not sure what is meant by this. I did grow up in a very liturgical church (Lutheran) and I can appreciate a lot about it, though I don't agree with all of it.
attempts to predict the end of time from scripture- I don't try to predict everything, I try to remain vigilant and pay attention to the "signs" as Jesus said.
salvition moment "I'm saved"- Salvation is an event, not a process. A passing from death to life, a re-birth.
Mosaic laws- Depends what is meant by this. I believe what the Bible says, the Law is God's perfect righteous standard, it silences us before Him because none of us can keep it perfectly. We need our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the only One Who has.
following Judaism- No, we are not required to follow OT Jewish Laws and customs.
beliefs that the nation state of Israel is spiritual Israel-I'm still uncertain about this one. All I know is that we should remember that God can "graft" Israel back in, as the Bible says.
belief that Jesus died to pay off God's anger- I think this is a vast oversimplification. Jesus died for much more than just because God was "angry."

and come sing in the liturgy at an Orthodox Christian Church and partake of Holy Communion - thank you for the offer, but I know I would not be comfortable in an Orthodox church, just as I'm not comfortable in Catholic Churches.

God bless.

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. - Luke 12:40

When you read Matthew about the wheat and the tares... who is it that gets pulled first?
Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Forgive me...

You may recognize this as a response to your inquiry as to what would I have you do...

Notice that its a pretty short list compared to the things we have in common.

Hope you had good services today!

The position that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today - tongues etc

Okay thanks.

Would that be the same as on Pentecost or different?

Oh, sorry, now I see what you mean. I'm a dork.

The languages at Pentecost were regular languages. Tongues are different.
