They also seem to have learned a new word to use instead of "Tankie": ML

Doesn't even make sense from an evangelical Christian perspective

What does "an attempt to make actual progress" mean for an evangelical Christian?

Why would they be a "lukewarm" christian?

Fix any of Earth's problems aside from converting people before it's too late. If Jesus is coming next Tuesday with a new heaven and new earth, why bother fixing climate change on this one?

Why would they be a "lukewarm" christian?

If you could be using the time to save even one person from infinite torture, this is the only possible moral action, so obviously you wouldn't be truly dedicated to your faith if you did anything else

Conversion would also be included.

The world is sinful but we just have to wait until the Second Coming happens when everything will be magically fixed. Any attempt to make actual progress makes you a lukewarm Christian, anything less than the Apocalypse (which we are forever waiting for btw) is completely useless. Also consuming certain media or makin certain lifestyle choices is sinful and unchristian.

My assumption is that it is more likely they intended to exclude at least one thing, if not conversion, from actual progress than they did to exclude it from "lukewarm Christian" simply because the term "lukewarm Christian" seems to be defined precisely to be the person who doesn't make any attempt whatsoever to apply their faith into practice
