“evangelical” Christian churches

This was a Church of Christ. It's probably the least "evangelical" of any Christian church. Very conservative, very traditional. I grew up in the Church of Christ. No wearing shorts, no dancing, no musical instruments played in church, immersion baptism only. They used to believe that only members of the Church of Christ would go to heaven. I doubt they still believe that but I don't know.

Interesting viewpoint.

Made me look up what “Evangelical” means so as to double-check my understanding of same.

Baptists are about the same, except musical instruments in church. And, of course, only members go to Heaven. (That’s weird.)

We had no dancing, no shorts (or slacks for women), baptism by immersion, no movies, no card plalying. (NO FUN.)
