Pilgrim, when you say that the majority of our churches are no longer teaching the faith once delivered unto the Saints, I would like for you to elaborate please if you would. I see many Orthodoxed churches preaching and teaching a "Saving" Gospel. Now our Theology might be different and I don't see modern churches maturing as they should be, but I do see the sinner called and Salvation occuring.
I suppose our two differing perspectives would rest upon how you would define, "Orthodox". If you are using it in a broad way, i.e., Christian vs. non-Christian religions, then I could understand your point. If however, "Orthodox" is used to distinguish between those Protestant Churches which are mainly confessional, i.e., they adhere to and practice the doctrines of the major confessions which came out of the Protestant Reformation, e.g., Augsberg, Belgic, Canons of Dordt, 39 Articles, WCF, Savoy, LBC, etc., and all other churches/denominations which appeared from the mid 1800's onward, then this is an entirely different matter.

It is my contention, that the overwhelming majority of "evangelical" churches today are NOT preaching a "Saving" Gospel, but rather "another gospel" (cf. 2Cor 11:4; Gal 1:7-9; et al). See these articles:
