Mainline and Evangelical Lexicon Differences or Similarities

I'm actually creating this blog for the purpose of receiving responses.  I want to hear from the people on the world wide web what they have learned about the differences in the lexicon or dictionary of evangelical and mainline Christians.  From my experience dancing between and in both worlds, I have discovered that often these two practices of Christianity will talk past each other even when they are discussing the same thing.  I think there are times when representatives of each perspective will agree with each other even though they don't really agree.  There are other times where representatives will be having heated arguments and they are saying the same thing, but using different terms.  So, I want to hear what you have heard - how do you translate the conversation?

For example.  My evangelical friends may ask, "When did you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?"  While my mainline friends would ask, "When did your faith become your own?" or "Tell me about a time in your adult life when what it means to be a Christian changed for you."

Most everyone will acknowledge that they received some of God's grace through baptism, but it may be debated even within each community when and how God initiated that grace and how it was first received.

Another example may be in the disagreement over creation and evolution.  Theologically, both evangelicals and mainline Christians agree that human life was intentionally created by God and that humans are made in God's likeness. The acceptance of evolution is not necessarily the denial of the Genesis creation story nor is the confidence in a 6 literal days of creation a denial of the fact that in the public school this must be taught as one of many theories.

While some evangelicals will use the term "infallible" to describe the Bible, mainline Christians will not deny that the Bible is God's Word.

Both evangelicals and mainline Christians confess the gospel message. Evangelicals tend to focus on the eternal salvation aspect, while mainline Christians tend to focus on the temporal salvation aspect.  Evangelicals tend to see salvation through the Four Spiritual Laws, while mainline Christians tend to see salvation through the coming of the Kingdom of God.  For evangelicals salvation comes through the action of acceptance of Christ as Savior of one's soul. For mainline Christians salvation comes through the action of responding to the reality that Christ is the Savior of the world.

Also evangelicals tend to say "God's Kingdom," whereas mainline Christians tend to say "Kingdom of God."
So, what have you seen in the differences and similarities between the mainline and evangelical lexicon/dictionary?

Where do you agree/disagree with what I have already brainstormed here on this blog?

Palm Sunday School Lesson for Teenagers

Scripture: Luke 22:17-20 Topic: When Jesus ate with his Disciples Background: This lesson would be taught during a Sunday morning breakfast club for teenagers. Once a month the youth meet to cook breakfast and then we try to relate the lesson to food. Last time the Middle School breakfast club met a middle school student led his peers in a devotional that went through the various stories of Jesus sharing food with his disciples. This Sunday we are going to focus on one of those stories and how it relates to Easter. Opening: 1. Ask, “Have you ever helped plan a party?” a. Ask the students to share about the various things they did to prepare (send invites, decorate, blow up balloons, set the table, plan games, order food). 2. Say, “For some families, Easter is a time of celebration, a party of sorts.” a. Ask, “What does your family do to celebrate Easter?” (family gets together, we eat dinner together, Easter egg hunt, attend church se

They touched Jesus, but then, how did they pray?

I'm sitting in my room praying and thinking, "After the resurrection did the disciples pray to Jesus?" Just imagine this with me for a moment. You have spent the past 2 - 3 years of your life following this intriguing man around, your feet are calloused, your memory is overflowing with moments around the campfire or dinner table, and you've been challenged to completely shift your Jewish worldview. And then he is gone. Just as quick as he came, just as brief as the moment he walked the shoreline past your fishing boat and called out to you, he is gone. And you are left knowing you've met an incredible man who was more than a man -- a man who was somehow divine. Now there is no one around you analyzing deep fulfilled Christological theological concepts, but there are plenty of Greek voices and new philosophical ways of contemplating life's happenings, there are Jewish commentaries, and there are the conversations that have happened along the roadside.

Question: Multi-generational ministry

What do you think is good about churches that focus on reaching a specific age group? What do you think some of the disadvantages are? Would you rather be part of a multi-generational interactive community or a community of peers? (Assuming both are in the context of Christian fellowship.)
