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.

I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll 'borrow' that and share it with some folks.

How does the term "reformed" differ from the term "evangelical"? 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.
