Thanks for the further explanation, FreedByte. It's helped me understand your position a bit better.

You say there will be eternal life for those who love the Lord. My question to you would be how do we know who loves the Lord?

Also, I notice you say the greatest assurance we have of salvation is by practicing the Orthodox faith. Is that belief based on the Bible? What does practicing the Orthodox faith entail? Thanks in advance.

Hi Wayne,

For this discussion, I mean whatever definition of salvation FreedByte had in mind when he said "yes" to my question above. (My question was whether we need to do anything to obtain salvation.)

Well I have started looking into the Eastern Orthodox view of salvation: Soteriology - OrthodoxWiki

Being that this is an Anabaptist (and Quaker) forum I wonder if an Anabaptist view of soteriology might be more appropriate here, and relevant to this discussion.

In your own words Freebyte, what did you mean by "salvation"?

...the greatest assurance one can have of salvation is by practicing the Orthodox faith.

This discussion then belongs on a different forum, doesn't it?
