I grew up on the fringes of American evangelicalism.
At some point I started referring to myself as "evangelical" because it indicated to people that I was a conservative Christian & that I took a lot of stuff in the Bible literally.
However, I grew up in a Reformed confessional tradition, meaning our church held to certain church confessions that were centuries old at that point. We had defined doctrine which "evangelicalism" did not necessarily align well with.
