To make things clear, I am not objecting to being able to place a calendar date in that slot. I am objecting to calling it my "salvation date".

I have to agree with Matrona. I do not object to putting a date on when I became a Christian. I became an Orthodox Christian on Lazarus Saturday 1999. Prior to this I was a Catholic Christian. I object to referring to this date as the date of my salvation. In short Orthodox do not view Salvation as a one time thing but rather a life long process. I am working toward my Salvation, but in the end it is God how decides if I am saved, not me. To say one is saved is to me a bit arrogant and removes any need for faith in God.

interesting indeed

Just a meaningless post
