Does the Greek Orthodox Church allow two christian names in the baptism ceremony?
Yes - as long as they are both accepted as suitable for the baptism. i.e Either names from the new testament (not Jewish) OR ancient Greek names. My daughter was baptised with 2 Natalia Arkondia
Is baptism when you are confirmed into the Catholic Church for the first time?
Short answer...no. The bible has numerous references to "baptism" and none mention young children or infants either. Baptism should be simply seen as a 'public' ceremony to display the personal decision a person already made to follow Christ. Confirmation is a Roman Catholic observance in that church tradition. It also occurs in Anglican and other 'traditional' (e.g. orthodox) churches under various names but the intent is the same: the church determines that you are a more fully a member of that church and religion.
Is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in union with the Antiochian Orthodox Church?
Depends which "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" you mean. If you mean the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is self-ruld but under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, the answer is "yes." If you mean the Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in the USA, Europe, and Australia which are under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (although these are certainly NOT a "Ukrainian Orthodox Church," but simply Ukrainian Orthodox dioceses of the Patriarchate of Constantinople), the answer is "yes." If you mean any other Ukrainian Orthodox groups-whther one of the so-called variety of "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox" Churches IN the Ukraine (some of which also now have parishes in the USA), or any of the plethora of vagante, fly by night, non-canoncial, possibly heretical, possibly occult groups in the US that include the words "Ukrainian" and "Orthodox" iin their names, the answer is "NO." See the question "is the Russian orthodox church in union with the ukrainian orthodox church" for more information
What is Orthodox Christianity?
Orthodox Christianity is the descriptive name given to the faith and beliefs of the Orthodox Church. It is similar to other names such as Roman Catholic Christianity or Protestant Christianity. The name Orthodox means having the correct beliefs and the correct way to glorify God. The Orthodox Church was founded by Jesus Himself in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost. According to Orthodox Christian beliefs, the Orthodox Church has always existed from the beginning of time (called the Church Triumphant) but the physical church on earth (called the Church Militant) was established in Jerusalem in 33 AD and continues to exist to this day without any changes to its dogmas and beliefs.
What is the old name of Egypt?
Early names for Upper and Lower Egypt were Ta-Sheme'awand Ta-Mehew. Another name for ancient Egypt was Kemet ("black land"). The Greeks gave Egypt its widely-used name (Agyptos) and the modern Arabic name Misr is from the Semitic Mitzrayim). During its period as a Christian nation (Roman and Byzantine era), it was called Copt, and the language is referred to as Coptic. Christianity was bought to Egypt by St. Mark around 42 AD. After the conquest of Egypt by the Sunni Arabs in 639 AD , Coptic was not allowed as a language. (It is, however, still in use by the Coptic Orthodox church as a liturgical language. The church grew from the time of St. Mark and was split from the other Orthodox churches by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD.)
Which religion is the nearest to serbian orthodox religion?
probably the greek orthodox. the only difference is basically just the name and language. Mainly because the serbian language and church was made by two byzantine brothers called 'Kurillos & Methodios' (these are their greek names) And in way, the serbian church was subjected to the byzantine...Nowadays, many people in Greece consider Serbians as their orthodox brothers.

No, in the early days, and still today in all Rites of the Church, except the Latin Rite, the sacrament of confirmation is given immediately after baptism. Thus the name is given at baptism, and not repeated immediately afterward.

What does 'orthodox' in the name Eastern Orthodox Church stand for?
Orthodox (ορθοδόξος) in Greek means correct both in worship and belief. It is derived from the combination of όρθος/orthos (correct, straight, without deviation) and δόξα/doxa (glory or worship) or δοκείν/dokein (to teach). In fact, the names of the Orthodox Church in Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, etc. reflects and reinforces more the 'doxa' etymology. Thus orthodox in this context should be understood more as 'correct in worship' and the claim 'correct in belief' should be regarded as implicit.
