• The need for personal conversion (or being "born again")
• Actively expressing and sharing the gospel
• A high regard for biblical authority, especially biblical inerrancy
• An emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.^[2]

Or Evangelically Evangelistic...
