At it's heart, to be evangelical is to bring the Good News of Jesus's death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins, "For God so loved the world … ".

Technically, ALL Christians are "evangelical", in the sense that Christians are called to evangelize and spread the good news. But like libertarian and Libertarian, evangelical and Evangelical are not the same thing.

>> Were the Founders and Framers following a ‘BS’ religion when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights

According to some FReepers, by their definition of "Christian" the founders and framers "never became Christian" and "never got saved" since the vast majority of them were Anglican/Episcopalian and practiced "unbiblical" infant baptism instead of joining some tent revival meeting where they "accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior" and then went around telling everyone "the exact moment they got saved".

Fortunately most of us reject such a narrow definition of "Christian"
