For years Ive called myself a "Personal Christian" mainly for not trusting churches but trusting only the bible and Jesus's teachings and the good news he brought. Not trusting churches and why is summed up somewhat in this video. I always Trust God and his teachings. I just don't always trust those who are speaking them nor trust that they have the TRUE meaning of the lesson. Many times humans have used the teachings of God to create chaos destruction fear and control. That is what I have always wished to avoid. (Manipulation) I also have to state that I have found though out history many have also used there NOT being a God to do just that as well. Humans will always find a why to manipulate other humans regardless of faith. Thankfully, I now can finally give a simple explanation to what I believe when asked what is a "Personal Christian" I can say look up what an Evangelical is and you can better understand what I believe and who and how I worship and why. For the longest time I thought I fit in no where even though I believe in much of what the other Christian faiths believe but not in the same way. I had no title to help others better understand me without a whole break down of what and why. It can be frustrating when seen by others for something that we are not and having no short answer to ratify that mix up! Ive been watching the show (The Chosen) since it first came out. About a year and a half ago, almost 2 yrs at this point. Its on season 2 right now. The director is an Evangelical but he brings in all matters of Christian faith even a rabbi. (Since Jesus was a Jew which many Christians conveniently forget.) All aspects help tell the greatest story ever told. (Which I love) The story of Jesus of Nazareth! I had an urge to search what his faith title meant. We all know what our faith title means to us but not so much so that we know what others see. In both aspects I feel comfortable using its title to better help others understand my faith without having hour long discussions. If they prefer a simpler term I can now say Evangelical. So far its the closest mainstream title I can find thats closest to MY faith and beliefs. Thanks for making this video. I have always felt each piece of Christian faith old and new are like shards of colorful stained glass. Alone they are pretty but together they create a picture you can see clear as day in all its glorious beautiful splendor. I am merely a shard but like us all I yearn for the picture displayed in that beautiful staind glass of truth. I feel I was led here for a reason and that reason (I think) was to let me know I am not alone. Thank You & God Bless!
I am a Muslim but I must say that this video was very informative. I think that adherence to holy books is much more important than adherence to formal religious institutions and I thank you for this video.
I live in NY and I met a lot of Muslim people we never touch the religion matter, Is my believe that God is for everyone. Because we all sons and daughters of God.
It is so unfortunate that Evangelical has come to mean conservative and fundamentalist in North America. This explanation that you've provided is so important, more so now than perhaps ever before.
After being an evangelical Christian since 1965, for a number of reasons (many of which you speak of here) I left 20 years ago. My faith in Christ didn't waver .... but certainly I wanted nothing at all to do with anything evangelical from that point forward. I now attend the Episcopal Church (Anglican for those of you in Canada) and i am also a Franciscan Brother. Over and above all titles, however .. is the fact of the gospel that was proclaimed in the incarnation .. Jesus proclaiming by His very life what it means to be in relationship with God. I very much like what seems to be happening at your church, and hope that you, as St. Benedict instructed his Brothers, continue to "listen with the ear of your heart". It's no secret that we are seeing a huge decline in affiliation with all churches, yet I am continually reminded of the brilliant question asked by Sikh activist and social justice leader Valerie Kaur "Is this the darkness of the tomb .. or the darkness of the womb?" I rather believe that it's both. Blessings and peace on your ministry!
As someone who is not religious, I found this explanation to be not only helpful in understanding what it means to be evangelical but also very interesting from a historical perspective. I really learned a lot from this so thank you for making it
If one wants to be called a evangelical, he must believe in two things fundamentally that Bible is the word of GOD infallible and ultimate authority of protestant church (2Tim 3:16; 2Pe 1:20, 21)--other cults are not qualified, and salvation is by GOD'S grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ alone without works (Eph 2:8, 9). The simplest and fastest way how one can separate a true evangelical church from all other cults is to ask if they believe in deity of Jesus Christ and HE is the Son of GOD.
I think you are way overrating the political power and influence that the Evans had on society post 1950. Abortion became legal across America in 1973 and did very little to try to stop it.
Evangelicals didn’t really care all that much about abortion in the 70s. It only became an evangelical issue later www.politico.com/amp/news/magazine/2022/05/10/abortion-history-right-white-evangelical-1970s-00031480
Evangelical is related to the French word, évangile, good news. So, from a linguistic perspective, those who bring the good news. However, their name does not correspond to their consciousness.
While the main data is ok, I would like to point out some things one can view differently. * State churches are "run by the governments", technically so, but the church can have own laws as long as they follow the laws of the country. The state was quite far a "stamp" for new laws etc, not an instance that decided over religious matters (like what the church believes). The Swedish Lutheran church did not put boundaries for people to read the bible, in fact Luther wanted the bible to be in all languages (not in Latin that the Catholic Church had earlier) so contrary, the aim was for people to read it. It´s not as simple as "state churches went along with Nazism", sure there was a struggle... a big proportion of Germans had voted for Hitler, and they were also members of the church. The Nazis tried in all ways to influence the Church, and Hitler made a none constitutional new election where - whooops Nazi sympatisers won. So on paper the church followed the state... but inside, there were different opposition groups against nazism.
Thanks. Those are helpful clarifications. Many of the objections to "state-church" systems arise not necessarily from the structure itself but from the abuses of it.
Join the one true church, the Holy Catholic Church, outside of which there is no Salvation. Devote yourselves to the Sacred heart of Jesus and the Immaculate heart of Mary, pray your Rosery everyday, then you will be saved my dear people. 🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓
While I appreciate your zeal for the Catholic Church you should probably read up on Catholic teaching. Catechism 1260 "Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity." Catechism 1281 " all those who, without knowing of the Church but acting under the inspiration of grace, seek God sincerely and strive to fulfill his will, can be saved even if they have not been baptized."
@@commonschurch God bless you. But surely when Jesus said, you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church. That has to be the Catholic church. How could anyone stand before him and say they went elsewhere. I just don't get it. Why would anyone seek salvation of any kind outside of it?? Good luck and God bless you 👍🙏💓
@@commonschurch You are obviously not ignorant of the truth by the seem of it. You have no excuse. How blessed are you to be told that and how blessed am I to say come and join the one true church. 👍🙏💓
@@philipcunningham9708 WOW .. it would be interesting to hear comment from Pope Francis on what you just said. Other than that, The Eastern Orthodox from which the Roman Church seperated in what is known as "the great schism", might also have comment.
Can you also explain the connections between Evangelicals with Jewish lobby ? and why their main focus have become the Jews as the one who belongs to the Holy land. its their land. why ? what happened suddenly that from thousands of years it was christians who persecuted the jews. what it in this evangelical group that they are the largest donaters for the state of Israel through jewish lobby ? i am confuse in this part. if they want power its alright, but why they wanna support the state of israel so badly. also remember. evangelicalism was created in the 18th century in the 13 colonies of US. do you think there is a similar pattern between Evangelicals and Knight termplars or Crusaders ?
@@simonealicious4362 kid I was making a Lel funny reference to the anime so yes I was talking about it but now that I had to explain it it pretty much lost it’s value :/
If you ever wonder why it is that Christianity has lasted so long over the last 2,000 years, thank the Ghost of Emperor St. Constantinos, for it was him who passed the Decree of Edict of Milan in the year 313 A.D.
Le concedió libertad de religión a los cristianos y otras religiones, y les concedió privilegios al clero y les devolvió sus propiedades confiscadas en la persecución de Dioclesiano y Galeno.
Muslims await Jesus peace be upon him. Son of virgin Mary, the true Messiah. Who was never crucified. The Jews await the Dajjal, the false Messiah. Who is blind in the right eye. Hence the one eye symbol which we see around us.
While I sure wish he would not move his head so much in this presentation, those who do watch this little video really need to take his explanation with a grain of salt, while a few things presented are somewhat accurate, he sadly misses the entire point of the term evangelical. But perhaps in trying to be brief, he rushed entirely over what is truly most significant about the movement. Those who watch this badly flawed video, please do not let this be your understanding of the evangelical endeavor, you would be badly even horribly served.
As I am listening to this video in an attempt to understand the word 'evangelical', I would appreciate hear what to you is the 'entire point' of 'evangelical'. Thanks!
The denomination is not an important thing for me. The trinity doctrine is the important one. I would like to consider my self A CHRISTIAN.....true christian ...not a fake christian (christian by name ).
Coming to power makes it a bigger target to be corrupted but being in power in and of itself is not the problem. You are taking the enemy's successful efforts and framing it as the gospel or faith being dominant is the problem.
Thank you! Please post bibliography, pinned to the top of the comments. I would love to see this explanation illustrated, after the fashion of "The Bible Project" or the "Animate" series.
This video was done off the top of my head but Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and After Evangelicalism by David Gushee both give a good account of American Evangelical history. Mark Knoll also has some good work on the topic.
Dont you mean its become political in USA......i live in scotland....and the evangelical church on my corner isnt pushing anything political....not that ive attended.
That’s exactly what this video is about. I talked quickly about the history in Europe and then at 00:03:35 a second iteration of “evangelical” that takes shape in the early 20th C “primarily in America.”
Please Help me I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in my place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! But I am struggling with some Sins that I honestly don’t know how to quit I hate my Sins But I genuinely don’t know how to stop them Am I still Saved because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time God Bless you
Grace and peace. The first step toward God is knowing that you are perfectly loved. That trust is what slowly enables us to let go of our harmful habits and actions.
You won't find either term in the Bible. Those terms are used to describe modern social groups. "White Evangelical" is being used a lot right now in the media to talk about a specific voting block in the US (Literally Caucasian evangelicals) but this video is about the different groups that have used the term Evangelical over the past 100 years.
The only formal "doctrine" of inerrancy states that "The books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation." That seems pretty reasonable for all Christians. There have been many other formulations of inerrancy that stretch beyond the point of believability, however.
@@commonschurch thanks again! but God made science and he is inerrant. Science is studying his creation, I don't see a contradiction. God cannot err, and the Bible is his Word, thus the Bible is inerrant. Thoughts?
That works in theory except that the Bible is just not scientifically accurate. ie. seven day creation. I don't think that's a problem though because I don't think the writer of Genesis is trying to offer any kind of scientific explanation. It's a poem about the beauty and meaning of creation. If we take the Bible on it's terms we're fine. If we try to read it as a scientific text it falls apart.
I thought that the evangelical were the Part of the church which Was against the Emancipation of slaves and not a church movement from sweden. I hope someone can help me out
So no, the American expression of evangelicalism did not come from Sweden. Sorry if you got that impression. In fact, the example from Sweden was an example of the first wave of European evangelicalism that is distinct from the American expression. The American expression of evangelicalism comes in to being in the early 20th century as a reaction to the fundamentalist/modernist controversy so again no, it did not exist at the time of emancipation. It’s possible that you might be thinking of the segregation and Jim Crowe eras. There were denominations aligned with racist policies that eventually came to adopt the umbrella of evangelical but that wouldn’t happen until the 70s and 80s in the third wave of political evangelicals.
I like your vid, thanks for the contribution. Question, do you use the term 'social justice' in its politically correct sense? I don't think many Christians would object to justice. But, that term has taken on such deceitful and manipulative connotations that its use makes me doubt your intellectual honesty. Also, qualifying the term justice limits and negates it in a philosophical sense.
I’m not sure how others you’re listening to are using it, but I am using the term in probably the normal way that most people are, to advocate for equitable access within social structures: healthcare, economic gaps, climate action, food security, access to housing, etc. There is justice at the level of our individual choices, and then there’s justice at the level of our collective choices as a society.
@@commonschurch I agree that folks should be treated equally, but I object to the deception and manipulation inherent in those movements. One of the most frequent words Jesus used was truth, as in 'the truth shall set you free.' The BLM movement is a great example. That movement supports the destruction of the family and is a thinly veiled Marxist organization. Anyone objecting to those aims is vilified as hating black people just because the name of the movement is BLM. That sort of manipulation and deceit is evil and the work of the Father of Lies. Per psalm 101 'No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.' I hope you spend some time in the word so God's truth will set you free from the web of deceit you seem to inhabit.
@@commonschurch It seems to me that equal opportunity and access has been, for decades, front and center in US politics. What is happening today is something else entirely.
@@robeidson8716 I have no interest in argumentive interaction, however I have to say that I know your views very well (I don't share them), and they are everything that I find wrong with Fundi-gelicalism. I realize that my sharing this will lead to nothing more than disagreement, but I can't just let your words mis represent BLM and other Social Justice movements including the LGBTQ social justice movement, Women's rights, Immigration rights, and right now the war on childrens educational access in parts of this country. The evangelicalism/fundamentalism that you seem to be advocating has destroyed itself, and I really don't see it coming back from it's self created destruction.
then you must be a big fan of slavery --- Ephesians 6:5-8 Paul states, “, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ” which is Paul instructing to obey their master.
Paul was not an apostle but an infiltrator. Early followers of Jesus saw him as a man, not divine and worship only Allah. They were true monotheists. Modern churches and Christianity are a product of human imagination, namely Paul and the Council of Nicea
Ok so this is just another typical American thing? We *never* hear this in my country. We only have evangelists. The member of the five fold You Americans are wierd dude

@@commonschurch thanks again! but God made science and he is inerrant. Science is studying his creation, I don't see a contradiction. God cannot err, and the Bible is his Word, thus the Bible is inerrant. Thoughts?
That works in theory except that the Bible is just not scientifically accurate. ie. seven day creation. I don't think that's a problem though because I don't think the writer of Genesis is trying to offer any kind of scientific explanation. It's a poem about the beauty and meaning of creation. If we take the Bible on it's terms we're fine. If we try to read it as a scientific text it falls apart.
Wow!
Beware. Some parts of science are speculative.
I love you
I thought that the evangelical were the Part of the church which Was against the Emancipation of slaves and not a church movement from sweden. I hope someone can help me out
So no, the American expression of evangelicalism did not come from Sweden. Sorry if you got that impression. In fact, the example from Sweden was an example of the first wave of European evangelicalism that is distinct from the American expression.
The American expression of evangelicalism comes in to being in the early 20th century as a reaction to the fundamentalist/modernist controversy so again no, it did not exist at the time of emancipation. It’s possible that you might be thinking of the segregation and Jim Crowe eras. There were denominations aligned with racist policies that eventually came to adopt the umbrella of evangelical but that wouldn’t happen until the 70s and 80s in the third wave of political evangelicals.
I like your vid, thanks for the contribution. Question, do you use the term 'social justice' in its politically correct sense? I don't think many Christians would object to justice. But, that term has taken on such deceitful and manipulative connotations that its use makes me doubt your intellectual honesty. Also, qualifying the term justice limits and negates it in a philosophical sense.
I’m not sure how others you’re listening to are using it, but I am using the term in probably the normal way that most people are, to advocate for equitable access within social structures: healthcare, economic gaps, climate action, food security, access to housing, etc. There is justice at the level of our individual choices, and then there’s justice at the level of our collective choices as a society.

I agree that folks should be treated equally, but I object to the deception and manipulation inherent in those movements. One of the most frequent words Jesus used was truth, as in 'the truth shall set you free.' The BLM movement is a great example. That movement supports the destruction of the family and is a thinly veiled Marxist organization. Anyone objecting to those aims is vilified as hating black people just because the name of the movement is BLM. That sort of manipulation and deceit is evil and the work of the Father of Lies.
Per psalm 101 'No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.' I hope you spend some time in the word so God's truth will set you free from the web of deceit you seem to inhabit.
@@commonschurch It seems to me that equal opportunity and access has been, for decades, front and center in US politics. What is happening today is something else entirely.
@@robeidson8716 I have no interest in argumentive interaction, however I have to say that I know your views very well (I don't share them), and they are everything that I find wrong with Fundi-gelicalism. I realize that my sharing this will lead to nothing more than disagreement, but I can't just let your words mis represent BLM and other Social Justice movements including the LGBTQ social justice movement, Women's rights, Immigration rights, and right now the war on childrens educational access in parts of this country. The evangelicalism/fundamentalism that you seem to be advocating has destroyed itself, and I really don't see it coming back from it's self created destruction.
No need to have all that talk....people go to church for one reason .....to go to heaven.
Read Ecclesiastes 12:13,14
John14:15...Hebrews 10:26.
I really hope people go to church for more than one reason. I also hope we follow Jesus for more than just a ticket to heaven.
@@commonschurch Say what u want ..Jesus himself said he came that we might have life and have it more abundantly....and he want us to do our part.
Love it. And I’m with you, I hope life abundantly means more than just waiting for heaven though.
And now I know all sects of Christianity are state influenced and not God influenced, accept evangelicalism .
Ummm 🤨
then you must be a big fan of slavery --- Ephesians 6:5-8 Paul states, “, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ” which is Paul instructing to obey their master.
Is this related to the video above?
Stick to the bible. Stick to the holy spirit. Stick to jesus you cannot go wrong.
Paul was not an apostle but an infiltrator. Early followers of Jesus saw him as a man, not divine and worship only Allah. They were true monotheists. Modern churches and Christianity are a product of human imagination, namely Paul and the Council of Nicea
Muhammad was a false prophet
Calling Paul as the creator of modern churches is the christian equivalent of saying that the Abbasids were inventor of modern islam!
Ok so this is just another typical American thing?
We *never* hear this in my country.
We only have evangelists. The member of the five fold
You Americans are wierd dude
