The basis of all Orthodox Christology, Ecclesiology, and Soteriology is three-fold:
1) God is Trinity: One and Three simultaneously, in what is called the Hypostatic Union.
2) Jesus Christ is the second Person of the Holy Trinity, God the Son, Incarnate, that is, both completely God and completely human.
3) The purpose of all things is the communion between God and man, and we can partake of that communion only through communion with Jesus Christ.
The basic beliefs of the Orthodox Church are: 1) belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Messiah, God and Saviour, 2) belief in the virgin birth of Christ and the Resurrection of Christ, 3) belief in the Blessed Virgin Mary (Theotokos) as the Mother of God, 4) belief in saints, angels and demons, 5) belief in baptism to become a member of the church, 6) belief in regular church attendance, 7) belief in regular Confession and Communion being essential, 8) belief in the seven Ecumenical Councils, 9) and acceptance of holy icons.
