All are evangelicals:
If you claim to be a Christian you are excepting Jesus Christ
as your personal savior. You are excepting His teachings as written in The New Testament and, you want to follow these teachings to the best of your ability as you become his servant.

No-one seems to want to be any ones servant in this age we now find our selves in. Man has became boastful and proud and doesn't really need Christ in their lives. Their money and positions are what they seem to think protects them and, here on the earth such a belief may be true.

If we claim to be Christians we must do what Christ has taught us to do. Some call it the great commission and, that commission is to lead others to Christ that they may enjoy the joy of salvation. Many may not know what this joy is and, all I can do is tell them what it means to myself.

I am 63 year old this week, many mornings I awaken and wonder how I got this old this fast. It's as if my life just went too fast and, where was I while my children were growing up and, many other factors past me by. Believe me when I say life is short, many my age know exactly what I'm saying. At any rate, being a Christian allows me to lie down at night and feel assuredly if I were to leave this world by death during the night I haven't any fear of where my soul will end up. I have no dread of life, my three children are christian, my wife and many of my friends are Christian. I have an inward peace I wish all people could possess, and they could if they submitted themselves to Christ and his teachings.

Now from my writing this, am I considered an evangelical?

Sure sounds like it to me but apparently one poster would take exception if you happened to worship at a Catholic church.
