I wish that Dr. Walter Martin, Dr. William Lane Craig, Bobby Conway and people at Calvary Chapel were Eastern Orthodox Christians. :(

These guys really helped me in my Apologetics when I was an Evangelical / Baptist / Calvary Chapel / Non Denominational Christian :

If we believe that the Orthodox Church has the fullness of the faith, shouldn’t we wish that all heterodox Christians were Eastern Orthodox?

Yes, but I'm asking specifically who you would like to become Orthodox.

Though they passed away some time ago, I would have liked to see CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien and Dietrich Bonhoeffer become Orthodox. Each of them was influential in my Christian walk.

Benny Hinn - he been turning away from his former heresies , and even said Catholics have more Grace because of the Eucharist, he seems like he searching, I'm praying he returns home to Orthodoxy

John Mcarthur - very serious in his faith, and great knowledge of Scripture, I admire his zeal to keep service in his heterodox faith going despite the lockdowns, I think he wrong about his misconceptions about Orthodoxy, and his heterodox beliefs, yet we still need zealous men like him who study scripture constantly, and takes his faith seriously.

CS Lewis - would of loved to see him convert to Orthodoxy, there is areas where his conclusions overlaps with True and right belief, yet he couldn't go beyond mere Christianity it seems.

Martin Luther - as I grew up in a nominal lutheran family, actually my great grandparents took it seriously, not the rest it seems, I can imagine the course of much of Eureopean civilization today if Luther put aside his pride and became Orthodox.

I was listening to Tim Keller just before I became Orthodox. I still listen to him- he's great.

Actually, I am listening to this right now: (from the story of Jonah)

It's amazing how with in the same jurisdiction or even a single parish you can find some of the most pious, kind, loving and true Orthodox Christians, yet with in that very same jurisdiction or parish also have some of the most worldly, fake and truly wicked people that you have ever met.

It's really bizarre.
