I'm Baptist in affiliation with my family, but I'm personally aligned to Eastern Orthodox theology and the doctrines of the church. I don't actually believe in any of the doctrines of Baptist thought because of this, but I attend a Baptist church with my Protestant Baptist parents since I still live with them and there is no Orthodox parish anywhere nearby.

What about EO theology draws you to it so much? I'm Presbyterian btw

It's hard to pin down what specifically draws me towards it. As vague of a statement as it is, to me, it just seems like everything within it "makes more sense" the more I read about it, compared to Protestant views.

Its perspectives on baptism, the spiritual significance of the Theotokos to the New Covenant, the trinity, its church structure, and plenty more simply fulfilled my desire for something more than Baptist Protestantism.
