Evangelical

2008-04-18T18:06:43Z

PASTORKOK3:

Generically, '''evangelical''' is a person whose beliefs are in agreement with [[Gospel]] and who communicates his [[faith]] to others so that they may benefit also. It may also describe a person whose beliefs are marked by an ardent or zealous enthusiasm for a cause<ref>[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=evangelical Princeton University]</ref> such as [[Christianity]]. Evangelical Christians have, in addition to spreading the word of God, have helped bring much needed medical and educational services to poor parts of the world,as part of their [[missionary activities]].

{{christianity}}
'''[[Evangelical]] Christians''' are those who accept the authority of the [[Bible]] and who spread the joy and [[faith]] of [[Christianity]] to others.

Some general characteristics of evangelical Christians include:

* generally better knowledge of the [[Bible]] compared to non-evangelicals
* emphasis on salvation by [[faith]] alone
* [[baptism]] as a recognition rather than a requirement for salvation
* [[Holy Communion|communion]] as a symbolic sacrament instead of the literal flesh and blood of Christ
* active participation in a local church
* high levels of charity
* high mobility
* support of [[homeschooling]]
* belief in the traditional family
* support of some or all forms of [[free enterprise]]
* support for [[democracy]] and the mission of bringing democracy to others{{fact}}
* emphasize humility, as in [[Isaac Newton]]'s attitude towards science<ref>"I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." [http://www.bartleby.com/100/195.1.html]</ref>

Evangelical Christians tend to be patriotic and politically [[conservative]].
