You said: “The part that is serious is that they dare to evangelize Christians. I ask you by whose authority? Whose theology are the Protestants peddling in Christian Russia?”
Every saint who “peddles” the Gospel of Jesus Christ does so on His authority. It is not given to man to know who are saved; it is commanded to us to proclaim His Gospel. “Christian Russia” is as bizarre a term as “Christian Texas” - no country is Christian. Each has a cup full o’ pagans in every region.
Nope. He gave that authority to his Apostles, according to St. Matthew (and I emphasize according to). The only ones who can claim that authority are the apostolic successors (bishops). And, of all Apostles, St. Paul did the least of baptizing (apparentrly he wasn't aware of the great commission—probably because it wasn't written yet!)

And every house has some hidden dirt. Would it be right for me to come into yours univited to look for it? There are whole nations that deny Christ (Jews); why not evangelazie them? Or 1.2 billion Muslims? Or most Polynesian natives?
What right do we have to shove Gosples down other peoples' throats? Probably the same "right" that the Muslims arrogate to convert the whole world to their religious madness! Because the Koran says so.
