Once again like during the 1980s, entire Protestant Evangelical congregations are all converting to the Orthodox Christian Church together, their former Protestant pastors being ordained as Orthodox Christian Priests and bringing the entire flock back home to the original pre-denominational Orthodox Christian Church.
And incidentally, that is the real reason why the globohomos hate Russia so much. Prince Vladimir of Russia converted his entire nation to Christianity, beginning with mass baptisms in the Dnieper River in what is now called the Ukraine. That is why the AntiChrist Jew Zelensky banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and is promoting "gay rights" and other abominations.
He's not a prince. He is an evil man. Someone who murders to try and get his way. You are not smart. You boast. You are ignorant of what makes a person a christian, since you think Putin makes his people Christians. You think it comes of works. But Putins works are theft murder pride etc. Most Orthodox hate Jews it seems to me.
You are once again betraying an ignorance of history. I was not talking about Vladimir Putin, I said Prince Vladimir. Prince Vladimir was the ruler of all of the Russians in the 10th century. When he heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ he declared that he wanted to become a Christian and sent for an Orthodox Christian Priest to baptize him. By God's providence, during the year in which he was waiting for an Orthodox Priest to arrive in his city, he became sick and was physically blinded. When the Priest arrived, he prophesied that the waters of baptism would both wash away Vladimir's sins but also his blindness, and by a miracle of God his sight was completely restored, amazing all of his people. St. Vladimir then preached to his subjects and told them the Gospel. He ordered his soldiers to destroy every false pagan idol in the Russian lands and to build Christian Churches over the sites where the pagan altars had stood. The people were joyous to hear the Gospel and begged to all be baptized into the Orthodox Christian faith. And to quote from a translation of the Russian Primary Chronicle: ”On the morrow, the Prince went forth to the Dnieper with the priests of the Princess and those from Kherson, and a countless multitude assembled. They all went into the water: some stood up to their necks, others to their breasts, and the younger near the bank, some of them holding children in their arms, while the adults waded farther out. The priests stood by and offered prayers. There was joy in heaven and upon earth to behold so many souls saved. But the devil groaned, lamenting, “Woe is me! how am I driven out hence! For I thought to have my dwelling-place here, since the apostolic teachings did not abide in this land. Nor did this people know God, but I rejoiced in the service they rendered unto me. But now I am vanquished by the ignorant, not by apostles and martyrs, and my reign in these regions is at an end.” When the people were baptized, they returned each to his own abode. Vladimir, rejoicing that he and his subjects now knew God himself, looked up to heaven and said, “Oh God, who has created heaven and earth, look down, I beseech thee, on this thy new people, and grant them, oh Lord, to know thee as the true God, even as the other Christian nations have known thee. Confirm in them the true and inalterable faith, and aid me, oh Lord, against the hostile adversary, so that, hoping in thee and in thy might, I may overcome his malice.” Having spoken thus, he ordained that wooden churches should be built and established where pagan idols had previously stood. He thus founded the Church of St. Basil on the hill where the idol of Perun and the other images had been set, and where the Prince and the people had offered their sacrifices. He began to found churches and to assign priests throughout the cities, and to invite the people to accept baptism in all the cities and towns." This happened over 600 years before the very first false Protestant Church was founded. There was no political state of Israel, so the people worshipped Jesus Christ instead of the God-hating Jews like modern Zionists do. The evil Khazar Jews (and Zelensky is a modern Khazar Jew) in rage tried to destroy Christian Russia, but Prince Vladimir and other Orthodox Christian rulers of Russia defeated the evil Jews over and over again. Glory to God! Slava Christos!
Getting baptized doesn't save you. Especially if some nutjob is ordering it.
