How Orthodox am I?

As a Progressive Christian and Gnostic sympathizer, how much of orthodox doctrine can I affirm? Here is what I agree with.

I believe that the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God.

I believe that God created all things through the Logos and the Holy Spirit.

I believe in the Holy Trinity, that God is both one and three, known to us as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins.

I believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day.

I believe that Jesus Christ was God incarnate in the flesh.

I believe that Jesus Christ will come again.

I believe that salvation is gained through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and Friend.
