Thank you for the definitions. As a Christian, I find it difficult to be both a Christian exclusivist and an evangelical. It is the age-old dilema of being in the world and not being of it. We must confront the culture, we must take the spiritual battle to those who don't know Jesus and that means that to some extent we must be familiar with the modern culture.

Yet, at the same time, I am reminded that after a time Lot was commanded to leave Soddom and Gommorah. There comes a point when the culture has deteriorated so badly we must leave it to collapse under the weight of its own sin.

Have we reached that point today? I don't know. I don't have an "elector detector" (def. a fictious machine showing me who is to be saved and who isn't). I need to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in order to be able to discern that. And sometimes in the past, I have misunderstood that leading.

“Christian exclusivist and an evangelical” not only a bad idea and contradiction, but it goes against scripture.
