I've read quite a few articles lately about how the world is trying to categorize Christians. When an enemy is drawing up war plans, they must first identify the various levels of threats and obstacles that they will be facing. First of all, a definition of a Christian is:
1) People who say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that is still important in their life today
2) And who also indicate they believe that when they die they will go to Heaven because they had confessed their sins and had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.
I'd say most folks (Christians) would agree with that description.
Now, here is the definition of an "Evangelical" Christian:
1) People who say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that is still important in their life today.
2) And who also indicate they believe that when they die they will go to Heaven because they had confessed their sins and had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.
3) Saying their faith is very important in their life today;
4) Believing they have a personal responsibility to share their religious beliefs about Christ with non-Christians
5) Believing that Satan exists
6) Believing that eternal salvation is possible only through grace, not works;
7) Believing that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth
8) Asserting that the Bible is accurate in all that it teaches
9) Describing God as the all-knowing, all-powerful, perfect deity who created the universe and still rules it today.
"Evangelical" Christians are considered to be the most "dangerous" type of Christian there is today. Are you willing to be included in this group or are you intimidated by the "dangerous" label?
I'm not.
