“So normally the Godparents will be the bio-parents?”
No. Never. Usually its a friend, not so often a relative but it could be someone the priest chooses. In some senses its an expansion of one’s religious family.
“Our difference is that you do not believe Christ’s righteousness is sufficient to save by itself.”
Christ’s “righteousness” destroyed death, FK! We Greeks have a saying, “What do you want, a son-in-law with two eyes?” Gee!

That's what I thought. What throws me is the promise to raise the child as a Christian. I thought that's what bio-parents are for. :)

But from my point of view, who enters Heaven just because death is destroyed? Isn't the answer "no one"? The equivalent answer in our view would be "all of the elect". That is how powerful we believe Christ's righteousness is.
