How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Evangelical

A person who believes in the verbal plenary inspiration of Scripture (that is, that the Bible is the word of God, that God used men as men use pens, making use of their lives, their emotions, etc., the entirety of their beings and personalities, to so record what He wanted that the result is actually Him speaking), the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture in the original autographs (that is, that the Bible is not the words of mere men in any place, and that God made no mistakes of any kind in the inscripturating of what He had to say, and that it always accomplishes just what He wants accomplished), and the need for personal conversion to Christ, based upon Christ's work on the Cross, plus nothing. Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura Supra Omne, Sola Deo Gloria. And I will add one more thing: an evangelical, for purposes of my blogging, believes that we can know, as surely as is appropriate to man to know anything, spiritual truth from the Bible.
