"The word 'evangelical' is used in many different ways these days, and there is much debate about its meaning. My preference is for J. I. Packer's six distinctives of evangelicalism, which are endorsed by John Stott and Alister McGrath, all three of whom are prominent evangelical Anglicans. 1. The supreme authority of Scripture for knowledge of God and as guide to Christian living. 2. The majesty of Jesus Christ as incarnate God and Lord, and the saviour of sinful humanity. 3. The lordship of the Holy Spirit. 4. The need for personal conversion. 5. The priority of evangelism for both individual Christians and for the Church as a whole. 6. The importance of Christian community for spiritual nourishment, fellowship and growth." --Alister E. McGrath, Evangelicalism and the Future of Christianity, Leicester: IVP, 1995, p. 51. |

2 | Evangelical Defined | Acts 21:8 | EdB | 243241 | ||
Others define evangelicals as more conservative as compared to mainline or more liberal groups. Others define Reformed (Calvinist) and non Reformed (evangelical). That is the definition I tend to go with. I tend to see Calvinist (Reformed), Mainline ( liberal) , Evangelical ( conservative). I see the Evangelical as made up of Full Gospel, Fundemental, Pentecostal. Reformed denominations seem to have the word Reformed in the name, Reformed Presbyterian, Reformed Baptist etc. Mainline are the churches like United Methodist, Presbyterian, Southern Baptist, Wesleyan, Lutheran and etc. I see rhe Evangelical Churches like, Full Gospel, Bible Based, Independent Baptist, Most Pentecostal, and etc. There is also the orthodox churches such as Angelican, Episcopalian, Greek/Russian Orthodox, Catholic and etc. It is hard to group them the biggest differences I see are Liberal versus Conservative or Fundemental, Calvinist and non Calvinist, Pentecostal and non Pentecostal. Whole scripture versus New Testament only, Trinitarians versus oneness or Jesus only. I think the 6 points above would better define a Christian not what Christian theology they follow. |
