We believe you go to Heaven not because of baptism,but by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ Faith alone is not enough...like GJI pointed out, baptism is essential. In some cases when baptism is not possible, then probably if there was the intention to…

if they r full deacons then i guess it's ok, wasn't sure about it...but if they give communion then it must be permitted :)

i'm 100% certain of the archdeacon being allowed to give the blood; it's cause his whole life is dedicated to service and he has no other job besides serving...

St wannas was a young boy, who got martyred at a young age of probably around 12 years old. I can't remember the whole story though...but i do remember that there was this muallim, that wannes loved very much, who was taken by the Romans, and was ki…

I think we had a thread going on the end of the world...there's a link to the explanation of the book of revelations by fr Tadros, who explains a whole lot of those questions... but it's still interesting to know differenct vieuws of people :)

Elijah hasn't come in the form of John the Baptist, when Christ spoke about this he meant that john the baptis came in the power and strength of Elijah. They both lived in the desert, wore the same cloths and lived unmarried. Elijah still hasnt com…

i suggest u read the book from Fr tadros yakoub malaty, but it seems in short that elija and henoch, both taken to heaven without dying, will come to make their testimony, and they would both be killled by the anti-christ and his followers
