An LGBTQ author I have a great deal of respect for recently wrote a post on Medium that contrasted Gay Christians vs. Evangelical Warriors (which was the title if you wish to find it). In that post, he offered his perspective that Evangelicals have lately become more militant. Further, he merged terms like “white Christian nationalists” and “Republicans” into the mix, all under the banner of “Evangelicals”.
Conclusion
Saved, born-again Christians have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior. Sure, we disagree on some Biblical interpretations. I am convinced that there are parts of my theology that are dead wrong and look forward to finding out which ones… open to consideration on this earth, but looking forward to what a perfect, all-knowing God will clarify in Heaven. In the end, while we remain on this earth, while our citizenship is in Heaven, every one of us remains sinners, saved and being saved by grace (Phil. 2:12-13).
Based on the Statement of Faith of the National Association of Evangelicals, the term "Evangelical" is the definition of one who has a Biblical Christian worldview. However, I use the latter terminology because so much other baggage has been placed on the word "Evangelical" that it no longer has any true or consistent meaning in our culture.
The word has been hijacked because no one has come up with a better term for those who incorrectly merge the sinner with the sin, ignoring the true meaning of Luke 10:27 in the process.
Luke 10:27 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
