Yes, Christ was making a demand, not a suggestion, when he said to "…teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" but how could this apply to fairness in employment in 2012? "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Fairchild, 2008); and hence, his words become commandments.

Indeed, the Great Commission has been the "foundation for evangelism and cross-cultural missions work in Christian theology" (Fairchild) but on the other hand, in the Beatitudes Christ preached fairness and grace. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God" (Bible.org). Those who hire workers based not on their religious affiliation but on their competence and honesty, their experience and aptitude, it seems are the peacemakers. Those who don't hire someone because he is a Jew, or a Hindu, are not peacemakers.

If the two decided to open a school could they discriminate against those that are not evangelical? The section 702 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 allows this to happen.
Stacey Brandenburg at the New York University Law School explains that it is the prerogative of religiously affiliated schools to discriminate. Albeit, Brandenburg argues that "Unfortunately, despite [good] intentions, 702 has placed greater burdens on individual religious expression" and in fact has opened the door for religious schools to engage in "racial and gender discrimination."

In conclusion, there are good reasons for law professors to argue that 702 of the Civil Rights legislation to be repealed, so the goals of 702 (for example, it's perfectly reasonable for a Synagogue to hire only Jewish Rabbis to preach) can be achieved through "other means." But as for the manufacturing facility hiring process, although this is legal, I would think that Jesus Christ would want open and fair institutions and companies, and by being a good witness and role model for Him, evangelicals can get converts to their faith, rather than discriminating against those who are not evangelicals.
