AMEN.
Pinging Harleyd and Forest Keeper to an interesting thread. We discussed the current meaning of the world last year.
IMO "evangelical" has taken on a false note in that as the article says, it implies an immediate sensory experience.
I've found it interesting that lately the word Protestant isn't used much at all, which is a shame. Instead, the press refers to Catholics and Evangelicals, as if all Protestants were Evangelicals. A better term would be Protestants.
Yes, I tend to agree with you and the author that the word "evangelical" in modern times has been hijacked by misusers and the media. I also agree with him that the word should not be tossed, as there IS legitimate "evangelicalism" out there. We just have to be careful about being clear about what we mean. I still consider myself an "evangelical" because I believe it is the calling and command of God to all true believers to evangelize the true faith. I have always seen that as a GLARING difference between us and Apostolics. The average Apostolic skirts his responsibility and says "That's not my job".
