They are evangelical inasmuch as their faith, doctrine and conduct are guided by the message of the Bible. The personal faith in Jesus Christ, in obedience to the Word and the Will of God, is the only condition of membership in his Church.

And:

They are churches inasmuch as Jesus Christ is present through his Word and Spirit, gathering and commissioning them and they acknowledge that all believers and only believers are members of the church.
