Again, bull, lying to make an anti—Evangelical, Catholic commercial, or even trying to hijack this thread by making a Catholic commercial, speaks to your character.

Dylan became an Evangelical Christian near the end of 1978.

As far as the Christian revival called Jesus Freaks.
“Although the Jesus movement lasted no more than a decade (except for the Jesus People USA which continues to exist in Chicago), its influence on Christian culture can still be seen. Thousands of converts moved into leadership positions in churches and parachurch organisations. The informality of the Jesus movement’s music and worship affected almost all evangelical churches. Some of the fastest growing US denominations of the late 20th century, such as Calvary Chapel, Hope Chapel Churches, and the Vineyard Churches, trace their roots directly back to the Jesus movement, as do parachurch organisations like Jews for Jesus and the multi-million dollar contemporary Christian music industry.[citation needed] Perhaps the most significant and lasting influence, however, was the growth of an emerging strand within evangelical Christianity that appealed to the contemporary youth culture.”

And as somebody that spritually grew up at Hope Chapel in Hermosa Beach, I can testify to the influence of the Jesus freaks to that church’s DNA. After moving to Texas, I have attended Assembly of God Churches. I don;t really care about doctorine anymore, but I sure care about the Spirit being in control of any church I attend and making that control OBVIOUS.
