To be an evangelical, you must pray, read the Bible, go to church, and have the intentionality to convert others.

That’s from Billy Graham (one of his books).

Nothing else required.

Evangelical churches are supposed to have an altar call at the end. The church doesn’t have to call itself evangelical. In fact, that can be deceptive.

By the way, he didn’t use the word “intentionality.” That’s from Rollo May (Love and Will).

From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism

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.
