The Problem With Evangelicalism

Joe Carter had a provocative post the other day in which he spoke about the "fads" and "fixtures" of evangelicalism.  In it he mentioned the following ten fixtures which he found particularly harmful not just to evangelicalism but to evangelism as well:

1. Making Converts
2. The Sinner's Prayer
3. "Do you know Jesus as..."
4. Tribulationism
5. Testimonies
6. The Altar Call
7. Witnessing
8. Protestant Prayers
9. The Church Growth Movement
10. Chick Tracts

I happen to agree with the general thoughts behind his points, if not with all the points themselves.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Read the whole post here and let me know what you think.
