May I wade in on this?
"Orthodoxy" is, as I recall, from the Greek & means "right belief." There is
also "orthopraxy," which means "right practice." A christian needs a balance
of both. As James said, "But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have
deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by
what I do." (James 2:18)
