evangelismo

Evangelismo refers to a Protestant Christian movement characterized by its emphasis on personal conversion, the authority of the Bible, and the proclamation of the Gospel. The term "evangelical" derives from the Greek word "euangelion," meaning "good news." Evangelicals typically believe in the necessity of a spiritual rebirth, often described as being "born again," through faith in Jesus Christ.

Central to evangelismo is the conviction that salvation is achieved through divine grace and acceptance of Jesus' atoning sacrifice. Evangelicals often engage in missionary work and evangelistic outreach, seeking to share their faith with others. The Bible is considered the inspired Word of God and the ultimate guide for faith and practice. Different evangelical traditions exist, including Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and non-denominational churches, though they share core theological tenets. While diverse, evangelicals often emphasize piety, moral living, and a commitment to Christian discipleship.
