21. Sola Scriptura and many, many interpretations of the Bible.

They are ways one may lose his/her salvation by deliberate acts.

Orthodox Christianity teaches--"I was saved, I am being saved, I continue to be saved." It's a process. Theosis. "Not once and done." Other Christian groups freak out at this. What do they think Acts in the New Testament are all about.

Also, Orthodoxy teaching that the hell some will find themselves in is not a physical geographical place. It is a condition the soul finds itself in and does experience God. Seeing Him but not being able to partake of His Goodness at that point. A chasm separates that soul who then has bitter 'tears' and 'heartache' for his condition. This is the unending 'fire' that cannot be quenched.
