And the definition of an evangelical that differentiates them from say Lutherans (who are also called the Evangelical church of Augsburg) is the centrality of the instantaneous 'born again' concept

As As you can see - that is what this Brazilian group have as their distinguishing belief

Thank you for the link. No hablo portuegues, unfortunately, and high school spanish from 5 decades ago almost isn't close enough for me to pick out what they believe.

I do note that they link to both John Piper and Joyce Meyer.

See where? You link is to a bunch of stories, not a doctrinal statement of sorts. Regardless, your extrapolation is like saying the definition of a Catholic that separates them from a Protestant is that they pray to departed brethren, thereby making Santeria Catholic.

And as regards instantaneous 'born again,' your own faith believes this regeneration is what occurs in baptism, regardless of the absence of the required (Acts 2:38; 8:36,37) repentant faith, and regenerating, heart-purifying faith is what Peter preached. (Acts 10:43; 15:7-9).

This group is a cult. Racist murderers cannot be evangelical Christians. Hillary Clinton and Obama hate Jews and the claim to be evangelical. Do you believe that?
