Coptic Orthodox Church is not a protestant church
it is simply , Orthodox like russian , greek ... etc
except we don't accept the Council of Chalcedon as a canonical council.
we are the see of St.Mark the Apostle , the holy see of Alexandria which found in the 1st century
we have a the apostolic succession like any other traditional church,
I think u know the orthodox doctrine of russia or greece or ... etc.
we have the same.
Baptist, lutheran , presbyterian , Calvinist , .... etc. are Protestant churches do not have any apostolic succesion or even tradition ... no sacraments , not intercessions, no Theotokos ... no thing!
they are not churches ... because they do not have even altars!
the word coptic does not refer to religion , but refers to nation ... coptic=egyptian in pharaonic language.
it is like greek , roman , italian , armenian ... and so on.
in christ,

wowww those ar huge differences...im suprised we are under the same category!!
This is not to say, of course, that we should have communion with them. It is merely to recognize what beliefs one must have in order validly to call oneself some kind of a Christian. If we wish for Christian unity some day, we must proceed with Charity with those who call Christ Savior, while not caving in on what is most essential. The Lord is calling His children home. They will hear Him.
You misunderstand what I've written. When I say that Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses bear some historical relationship to Christianity, I do not mean to say that they ARE Christian, any more than Islam is. All these cults derive from some Christian root, even if that derivation is so heretical as not to be within the realm of Christianity any more. In a like manner, we can say that Buddhism derives from Hinduism, though Buddhists are no longer Hindus, and that Christianity itself derives from Judaism, even though the Church and the Synagogue split the sheets after the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. All of these are historical relationships, not theological identities.
My point was that we must not theologically place a denomination like the Baptists in the same boat as the afore-mentioned sects. Although there are some heretical elements to evangelical Protestantism, I would still call the faithful adherents to this tendency by the name "Christians." However, I would caution all Protestants by pointing out that when anyone parts from the Church and Her Traditions, he or she is apt to so deviate from Christianity as to create a rank heresy like Mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses, both of which began as Protestant movements.
