I would not say that. JW's use their own version of the bible (nwt) and LDS use the book of mormon. Both of which deviates from the tenants and Christianity.

I'm not sure what forum rules we may or may not be breaking on this thread but leading people to Jesus is important.

Thanks be to WildBill and Richbirdhunter, it appears that being of the First United Methodist persuasion qualifies one to be an Evangelican Christian, yes?

Yes!

Oh Happy Day....

Evangelism is sharing the good news of the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ. An evangelical, then, is a person dedicated to promoting the good news about Jesus Christ. Combined, the description "evangelical Christian" is intended to indicate a believer in Jesus Christ who is faithful in sharing and promoting the good news.
