Evangelical Christianity, or Evangelical Protestantism is a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity which maintains the belief that the essence of the gospel consists of the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s atonement.

Evangelicals believe in the centrality of the conversion or the “born again” experience in receiving salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God’s revelation to humanity, and in spreading the Christian message.

All of this is true. I think Graham was speaking to born-again Christians who weren’t sure what to do, e.g. whether they had to go to church.

Amir Tsarfati recently stressed going to church as opposed to just getting all your teaching and fellowship from the Internet.

Notice how Wikipedia says evangelicals must be born again. While this is true, it obscures the truth that ALL Christians are told they must be born again (John 3). They talk about born-again Christians as if we are some kind of mutation.
