Baptist Pastor Samuel Farag grew up in the Coptic Orthodox Church, which claims to be the one true church.
Samuel heard the Gospel growing up, and the reason is simple.
The Coptic Christian Church believes both God and man contribute to salvation.
The combination of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and the human works of merit, such as fasting, almsgiving, and receiving the sacraments and other works, may bring about salvation.
He came to realize this was not supported by but was in opposition to Scripture.
