   This is a touchy issue. I am a self confessed fundamentalist, so are most of my class-mates at the college I attend, (Faith Baptist Bible College & Theological Seminary).

   Here’s the definition of fundamentalism commonly held among my peers: A fundamentalist is one who holds to the innerrancy of the origional manuscripts of scripture and committed to the truth they contain.
   What separates us from, “new evangelicals” is that we do not tolerate apostasy (denial of the diety of Christ, innerrancy, and other major Christian doctrines). We treat these people as unsaved, (which they are) and do not cooperate with them on the ecclesiastical level, and we do not tolerate them teaching in our schools. We DO love them and desire that they should be saved. We befriend them, and share the Gospel with them but we will not treat them as though they are brothers in Christ. They are wolves in sheeps clothing.

   Fundamentalism has nothing to do with music, movie theatres, versions of the Bible, or even covenant/dispensational theology.

   I know many would disagree with me on this. I talked to someone a year ago who told me, “I don’t know any fundamentalists who aren’t KJV only”. These types of statements sadden me, but I think fundamentalism is worth saving. We need a bulwark of Christianity that will stand against the quagmire of relativism and acceptance of man’s wisdom.

   Time will tell. In the meantime, thanks for letting me post my 2 cents worth!

   Also, read sometime what Love incarnate (Jesus) had to say to the pharisees, Matthew 23:13 (English Standard Version)

   13″But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.

   That quote “wolves in sheep’s clothing” is from Jesus as well. (Matt 7:15).

   True love speaks the truth and acts on it whether or not it’s easy or convenient. In this case (and in every case), sharing the Gospel is the only loving course of action.

   Either way, my primary identity (by God’s grace) is that I am a Believer in Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior. The fact that I am a fundamentalist is secondary.
   Christianity is in definate need of a return to taking seriosly the truth of scripture. Fundamentalism is in need of this just as much as any other group. We are guilty of choking on issues of Bible version, music, and other non-scriptural arguments trusting more in tradition than in truth. At the same time, the more mainstream church has definately gone too far in assimilating the ways of the world around it. Both extremes are wrong.

   I pray that as the tide of popular opinion continues to turn more and more against Biblical Christianity it will have a purifying affect on the church that is badly needed.

   I’m thankful for this website and the high level of the diologue here and I trust that as this issue is discussed it will stay that way!

   In Christ,

   Marshall

   Pavel, Love isn’t simply accepting people the way they are. Those who teach that Jesus is not God’s son are leading people to Hell. Would it be loving to cooperate with people like that and thus allow them to continue on that path? Answer for yourself.
