Mike declines to comment on Coptic/Oriental Orthodox theology due to insufficient knowledge, but raises concerns about Eastern Orthodox extra-biblical tradition and recounts a personal experience of a woman who left his church for an Eastern Orthodox group and could no longer articulate the gospel.

Mike notes he does not know the differences between Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy. He mentions having been told Eastern theology holds seemingly contradictory ideas in tension, which he finds confusing from a Western mindset. He notes Eastern Orthodox churches claim extra-biblical traditions as binding (cut off around 700 AD). His practical concern is that a former attender who joined an Eastern Orthodox group afterward could not answer basic gospel questions and deferred to church leaders, which he uses as a prompt for the viewer to write out gospel essentials in one paragraph.
