By the way, the many Protestant groups do proselytize in ways that are humble and not intrusive. Setting up schools and hospitals is a perfect example of positive Christian proselytizing which tries to convert via good works and examples. All Christians should avoid trying to proselytize among fellow Christians.

To a degree you are right, or at least I agree with you. But there are some who would call themselves Christian who, by the Bible's standards, bear no evidence of that fact. They are culturally Christian, but their value system is of the world. While those who have never ever heard should first be given opportunity to hear (of Christ), even those whose parents may have been church members (of whatever variety), but who never "chosen to follow" Christ need that same opportunity.

...the many Protestant groups do proselytize in ways that are humble and not intrusive.But why are they attempting to convert people who are already Christian? Because they do not consider Copts and Orthodox to be Christians.
