The Saving Grace only exists within the Church

The Saving Grace only exists within the Church:

​

St. Hilarion Troitsky, "There is no Christianity without the Church— outside the Church, there is no Grace of the Holy Spirit."

​

St. Hieromartyr Onyfry (Gagalyuk)— "As for the reception of these apostates, heretics, and schismatics into the Church of God, whether they are received in their existing rank or reordained is irrelevant. They are devoid of Grace, for they are outside the Church."

​

St. Seraphim Sobolev, Distortion of Orthodox Truth in Russian Theological Thought— "We have seen that the baptismal regenerating Grace in its various manifestations is inherent only in the Orthodox Church."

​

St. Nicholas Varzhansky— "all faiths including Latinism lack true, Grace-filled hierarchy and Grace-filled sacraments"

​

St. Irenaeus of Lyon, Against Heresies— "“the Church was the sole fountain of Grace, and that outside it none can be assured of salvation or of sacramental Grace, he would have ruled out as entirely worthless the sacraments of schismatics.”

​

St. Cleopa Ilie, The Church Fathers on Love in Truth— "Question: What other Christian church possesses the Grace of salvation except the Orthodox Church? Answer: The Grace of salvation can only be received in the Orthodox Church because this is an Energy of Christ which remains always the same in the Church yesterday today and forever…"
