Not totally orthodox at all.

Two examples:

1. The Holy Spirit does not come forth from God, the Holy Spirit IS God.
2. The Orthodox Christian Faith is baptism is for the forgiveness of sins. No mention of that at all.

To: one Lord one faith one baptism

RE: The Holy Spirit does not come forth from God, the Holy Spirit IS God.

The Nicene Creed states thusly:

“I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]”

They are just using the word “proceed” in modern English.

And the church DOES believe that the Holy Spirit is God ( i.e. the Trinity ).

RE: The Orthodox Christian Faith is baptism is for the forgiveness of sins. No mention of that at all.

They DO mention Baptism in their Statement of Faith.

I copy and paste from their website:

“We believe that to these visible churches were committed, for perpetual observance, the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper”
