"Those whose faith in Christ was lacking or corrupt, or sinned after baptism without repentance before death, or didn't do good deeds will find unhappiness after death. Those whose only transgression was not performing good deeds may be punished temporarily."
"Those whose only transgression was not performing good deeds may be punished temporarily"
Thats what that site (?) thinks Eastern Orthodox believe.. is that what we Oriental Orthodox believe too?
temporary punishment?

brothers and sisters since good deeds are necessary for salvation I may be falling into despair of my salvation..
I feel unable to do much good... how much good deeds are necessary for salvation?
I have been diagnosed before with depression and I think this affects my ability to work..
Our test is here on earth and that is it.....there is no such thing as temporary punishment!!!!
Dont worry about judgement day for that will worry bout itself. worry about your life on earth 2day........try and do all that is good and stay away from wat is bad.
salvation isnt meant 2 be depressing ......... it is comforting to know that our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gave us this opportunity to have eternal life.
As the bible says "Dont worry about 2morrow 4 2morrow will worry bout itself". Think Positively, Live Positively and Let god do the rest.
im not saying that deeds are unecassary for a ticket to heaven - cause they are but ill get more details b4 i go any further!
