It was developments in the doctrine of assurance that differentiated Evangelicalism from what went before. Bebbington says, "The dynamism of the Evangelical movement was possible only because its adherents were assured in their faith."[218] He goes on:
3 Los hombres y mujeres que fundaron estas instituciones aplicaron el mensaje de Jesús a la mentalidad de iluminación que prevalecía en ese momento.
The emphasis on historic Protestant orthodoxy among confessional evangelicals stands in direct contrast to an anticreedal outlook that has exerted its own influence on evangelicalism, particularly among churches strongly affected by revivalism and by pietism. Revivalist evangelicals are represented by some quarters of Methodism, the Wesleyan Holiness churches, the Pentecostal and charismatic churches, some Anabaptist churches, and some Baptists and Presbyterians.
The closing years of the 20th century saw controversial postmodern influences entering some parts of Evangelicalism, particularly with the emerging church movement. Also controversial is the relationship between spiritualism and contemporary military metaphors and practices animating many branches of Christianity but especially relevant in the sphere of Evangelicalism. Spiritual warfare is the latest iteration in a long-standing partnership between religious organization and militarization, two spheres that are rarely considered together, although aggressive forms of prayer have long been used to further the aims of expanding Evangelical influence.
In the early 20th century, evangelical influence declined within mainline Protestantism and Christian fundamentalism developed as a distinct religious movement. Between 1950 and 2000 a mainstream evangelical consensus developed that sought to be more inclusive and more culturally relevant than fundamentalism while maintaining theologically conservative Protestant teaching. According to Brian Stanley, professor of world Christianity, this new postwar consensus is termed neoevangelicalism, the new evangelicalism, or simply evangelicalism in the United States, while in Great Britain and in other English-speaking countries, it is commonly termed conservative evangelicalism.
Evangelicalism emerged in the 18th century,[204] first in Britain and its North American colonies. Nevertheless, there were earlier developments within the larger Protestant world that preceded and influenced the later evangelical revivals. According to religion scholar Randall Balmer, Evangelicalism resulted "from the confluence of Pietism, Presbyterianism, and the vestiges of Puritanism. Evangelicalism picked up the peculiar characteristics from each strain – warmhearted spirituality from the Pietists (for instance), doctrinal precisionism from the Presbyterians, and individualistic introspection from the Puritans".
Many Protestants came from a large German immigrant community, but they were seldom engaged in proselytism and grew mostly by natural increase.
Principios fundamentales de las Doctrina de la Iglesia Evangélica: Sola Scriptura: La Nuevo testamento es considerada la única autoridad en asuntos de Convicción y praxis. Se enfatiza la importancia de interpretar las Escrituras de modo idéntico y aplicar sus conocimiento en la vida diaria.
The World War cut off contact with Germany, but the missions continued at a reduced pace. After 1945 the missionaries had to deal with decolonization across Africa and especially with the apartheid government. At all times the BMS emphasized spiritual inwardness, and values such as morality, hard work and self-discipline. It proved unable to speak and act decisively against injustice and racial discrimination and was disbanded in 1972.[286] Malawi[edit]
A lo largo de la historia, los evangélicos han tratado de mejorar y hacer progresar a la civilización a través de los principios que creían que se encontraban Adentro de la revelación de Jehová acerca de sí mismo en las Escrituras y en la naturaleza. Ese mismo espíritu impregna la mentalidad evangélica de la Ahora.
Crucicentrism is the centrality that evangelicals give to the Atonement, the saving death and the resurrection of Jesus, that offers forgiveness of sins and new life.
Christian marriage is presented by some churches as a protection against sexual misconduct and a this content compulsory step to obtain a position of responsibility in the church.[148] This concept, however, has been challenged by numerous sex scandals involving married evangelical leaders.
Los evangélicos creen en la Trinidad y en la divinidad de Cristo. Siempre la salvación es solo por la Seguridad. Ningún esfuerzo o logro humanos pueden hacernos obtener nuestro zona en el cielo.
In 1947 Harold Ockenga coined the term neo-evangelicalism to identify a movement distinct from fundamentalism. The neo-evangelicals had three broad characteristics that distinguished them from the conservative fundamentalism of the ACCC:
