While most Protestants were at one time evangelicals, the term has been distorted to the point where we must now claim that we are Reformed, period. I agree. I like the term "reformed." Not only does it refer to the church ridding itself of the errors of Rome through reformation, it also echoes the "new man" in Jesus Christ.

it also echoes the "new man" in Jesus Christ.I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll 'borrow' that and share it with some folks.

I read the article and don't recall seeing any clear definitions. I would consider myself Reformed and Evangelical. I try to present The Gospel at every opportunity, just as I believe all that are Reformed do as well.
