Needless to say all these varying evangelicals I just listed...a partial list....do indeed vary a lot

Actually the modern evangelical movement which at one time was basically synonymous with fundamentalist, began as a reaction against liberalism due to a shared common consent to core truths. But like any distinguishing term for distinctive group, which "Christian" was at one time, becomes watered down.

Yet evangelicals or evangelical churches are able to be classified as being so based on certain shared distinctives, and even in their present state, they remain the most committed conservative and unified group and basic moral views and key doctrines. See here regarding all that.

Globally, Pew research found that 98% of evangelical leaders agree that the Bible is the word of God - http://www.pewforum.org/uploadedFiles/Topics/Religious_Affiliation/Christian/Evangelical_Protestant_Churches/Global%20Survey%20of%20Evan.%20Prot.%20Leaders.pdf

I agree 100% of that polling

Except I think yoga gives women great bodies and Christ is OK with that

Drinking.... I’m ambivalent.... not a drinker.... moderate or infrequent party drinking is OK to me
