Baptism or just chrismation to become an Orthodox Christian?

what i dont get though is, how can another Church have a legit baptism, but not other legit sacraments?

Baptism is an acceptance in a trinitarian God. The other sacraments express how we understand our relationship with God.

One sacrament not mentioned yet is marriage... Couples are often re-married in the Orthodox Church- especially if the husband is going to be ordained. In Orthodoxy, marriage is a bond between husband and wife- not a public promise or vow. It is done to them not something they do to each other. But again- possibly another thread... :crazy:
