The evangelical mind has been so influenced by the secular mind-set that I am not sure that they would know what it means to have a Christian mind.
According to Harry Blamires the Christian mind has the following characteristics:
1. It has a supernatural orientation.
2. It has an awareness of evil.
3. It has a concept of truth.
4. It has an acceptance of authority.
5. It has a concern for the person.
6. It has a sacramental cast.
Today we would rather look at what Christianity has for me today rather than have an eternal perspective. We think of truth as relative rather than absolute. We don't know how to define evil as we believe that people are basically good. We could continue down the line and show that the evangelical mindset is not a Christian mind.
Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.

I agree that the average Christian has gotten a secular perspective. That's a dangerous place to be when we are warned repeatedly that even the very elect will be deceived. Our prayer each day should be "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
