American Protestant missionaries in the 19th century, for example, built universities and hospitals and tried to convert Coptic Christians in Egypt and Greek Orthodox Christians in Lebanon.

Curious that they felt the need to convert Christians to Christianity (at least their particular version). This speaks volumes.

I believe there IS a difference between Christians who are born again believers and those who blindly follow the teachings of churches without question or without reading the scriptures for themselves to find out the real truth. We all have to be careful not to just take someone's word for it. We have to read and search the scriptures for the truth. The truth is not in all facets of churches who say they're Christian. Much is merely doctrine without the truth of the scriptures. Too much of church doctrine is religion without relationship.
