15 Signs That You Might be a Modern Evangelical
- Everytime Israel is in the newspaper your Pastor finds a way to fit it into prophecy.
- Even though Jesus made wine (John 2:1-11) and drank wine (Luke 7:33-35) you are certain that if anyone else does the same, they are in sin.
- You refer to worship as the singing portion of church.
- You speak of worshiping in spirit and truth as a 50/50 balance.
- Five days you work, the other two are set apart for running errands.
- You partake of communion at home sometimes.
- At church, every song consists of seven words repeated eleven times over.
- You often tell people with certainty that God told you something, and it’s not something found in scripture.
- You use, “Jesus is coming back soon” as an excuse sometimes.
- You don’t think doctrine is important. All we need is love.
- You can’t imagine how someone could be saved apart from praying the sinners prayer.
- You’ve been baptized more than once and might do it again.
- You see nothing wrong with listening to a sermon online instead of going to church.
- You consider it somewhat worldly to have any other “non-spiritual” interests or hobbies.
- You do not fit into any other category but “Bible believing Christian”.

Randy… this is all very interesting. But, I would like to know your full name. I think I may know you and would like to know for sure. These articles are all very interesting and appreciated.
Randy-yeah. You got it down. And I was an evangelical Christian until I saw the folly of all of it. One thing I realized after I left evangelical Protestantism for Eastern Orthodoxy; all this talk about the end of the world stuff just depressed the heck out of me. I didn’t realize how depressed I was until I got out of it. Thank you so much for this blog. It has been a blessing to me.
