You got it, John: The term "fundamentalist" Christian seems to imply that if we don't want to have that label sewn to our baseball cap, we don't believe in the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It's kinda like being called a "liberal." Or a "conservative." The term Fundamentalist Christian has become a part of our language, for better or worse and applies to a particular group of Christians.

Like most labels, "Fundamentalist" Christian elicits all sorts of negative (and if you consider that you're a Fundamentalist Christian, positive) images. I'm a Christian. Brucie is a Christian. We don't think alike. But, we have some basic beliefs in common. And Guest, if you think we're high-jacking your thread, then don't sprinkle terms like fundamentalist christian in your postings.

Any thread worth it's salt is worth high-jacking for awhile. Mine usually are, and they are more interesting for it..
