1. No one has to read anything to be baptised

I never stated that. Faith comes from HEARING and hearing by the word of God.

2. There's nothing grand about English. There's no 'must speak english' sign on the gates to heaven.

I never stated that.

Orthodox countries were the firsts to translate the word into native languages! They also have been preaching in North America since 1794 often to people who don't understand a word of English.

Trust me. There are plenty in North America who don't understand a word of English. Just go into a fast food resturant and order a hamburger and fries.

4. The Orthodox study Holy Scripture plenty hence the Study bible. They simply don't pray to books or proclaim themsleves as individuals with perfect knowledge of scripture.

We DON'T pray to books nor do we venerate before them. We mark them up highlighters and pencil marks. As far as finding someone who proclaim they have perfect knowledge of scripture, I have yet to find that individual.

say what you will about veneration the orthodox have never claimed that a book is God which is exactly what protestants have aledged on this thread.

also why werent all these famous protestants converting eskimos like the Orthodox were, or does preaching the word cut into reading 'God the book'?
