Not by Denomination, but by Dictionary Definition, I am a Fundamentalist

[IamRedeemed]

What denom someone belongs to, including none is not important.

It is what u believe that determines wether u are allowed to debate here.

As copied from the sticky, the current rules are:

Please read - current rules as of 7-25-07


Welcome to the Fundamentalist forum.

A) For the purposes of this sub-forum, we adopt the Definition by the World Congress of Fundamentalists in 1976, to wit:

A born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ who
Maintains an immovable allegiance to the inerrant, infallible, and verbally Inspired Bible;
Believes whatever the Bible says is so;
Judges all things by the Bible, and is judged only by the Bible, aka - "Sola Scriptura";
Affirms the foundational truths of the historic Christian Faith:
The doctrine of the Trinity
The incarnation, virgin birth, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, ascension into Heaven, and Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
The new birth through regeneration of the Holy Spirit
The resurrection of saints to life eternal
The resurrection of the ungodly to final judgment and eternal death
The fellowship of the saints, who are the body of Christ;
Practices fidelity to that faith, and endeavors to preach it to every creature;
Exposes and separates from all ecclesiastical denial of that Faith, compromise with error, and apostasy from the Truth; and
Earnestly contends for the Faith once delivered.Therefore, Fundamentalism is a militant orthodoxy with a soulwinning zeal. While Fundamentalists may differ on certain interpretations of Scripture, we join in unity of heart and common purpose for the defense of the Faith and the preaching of the Gospel, without compromise or division.

Thus a Fundamentalist can be from quite a few Protestant denominations, even nondenominational. Those that defer to a view that sacred tradition is equal to scripture (not sola scriptura) would not.

B) Whilst we welcome non-Fundamentalists (anyone who does not adhere to the above definition) to our forum any questions must be made in the subforum "Ask a Fundamentalist".

C) Guests can debate in the formal inter-denominational debating forum or formal debating area outside the entire congregational fora. To remain this forum the last haven of the fundamentalists, we don't allow guests to debate the fundamentalist doctrines stated here.

D) Guests are not allowed to post or vote in the fundamentalist forum decisions on rules or moderator election.

Questions phrased in a manner deemed offensive by the moderators shall be deleted.

IF u can agree to the above, post YES as an answer to this and we'll welcome u.

Welcome, sister! So glad you have come to join us! I know you are a little wary (edit: weary. My bad! lol) from fighting the good fight out there on CF. I hope you find this forum to be one of peace and rest.

And I'll be happy to vouch for ya as a Fundamentalist. :)

[IamRedeemed]

Thanks for the voucher sister! :-)

I am actually not weary or wary from the actual fighting the good fight of faith, but the leftist and unbiblical pc slant that seems to be prevalent on the site, in effort to be pleasing and palatable to the flesh, while starving spirits, has got me saying hmmmm. It is also frustrating to have to view satanic emblems, sig pics, avatars etc., as well.

The authorities of the site are not putting Christ first. Christ does not make belial feel welcome. Not in the sense that He would tolerate the doctrine of belial or those who follow the doctrine of belial, nor let them hang watchers and other demonic emblems. Welcome the person if they are content to be in a Christian environment YES, absolutely. But allow them to teach their doctrine? NO WAY! It absolutely should not be tolerated. Ask questions, tell us their thoughts yes. Teach? The Word of God at that? No.
We have wiccans teaching the Bible here. How can anyone not having the Holy Spirit of God even begin to attempt to rightly divide the Word of Truth anyway? They can't, nor should they be allowed to.

When "Christians" and "atheists" are on the same side battling against disciples of Christ that adhere unwavering to the Word of Truth, something is severely wrong with that picture, and I see it happening, not only to myself of course, but to many if not all of those who do adhere to fundamentals of our faith.

I do look forward to fellowship and discussion with those who do value the Word of God for the inerrant God breathed gift of counsel, health and life to mankind that it is! Spiritual manna from heaven.

The Word is life to them that find it and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:22

Thanks for posting this! I'm in the same boat you are in, and wondered how my participation would be received.

[IamRedeemed]

You're welcome :-) I thought I would post and find out as the rules are accurate and in alignment with where I stand, and I seem to have a lot more in common regarding my belief system as a whole with the folks of this forum than even in the conservative forum, but the reason I never posted in here before or asked to join is because the title is "Fundamentalist Churches" And being that I do not subscribe to any particular denominations, I had a misperception of who this forum was for....

[cubanito]

Welcome, let's seee how long CF in general will allow us to make up and enforce our own rules.

For now, we seem to be a small but very united bunch.

Peaceful? Well, sort of, but people here tend to be very serious about what they believe and so debates can get heated.

JR

[IamRedeemed]

LOL.... well I am a passionate person myself, so I can appreciate that. :-)

The forum should probably drop the "Churches" from the title though...more who thought like I did and were thrown off by the misperception of the title, may have or will in the future join, and be in the right place. :-)

[1hedied4]

that's what i am talking about

[1hedied4]

it is more about you and Jesus what he did and how and why you responded to what he has done to make himself known to you you think

We actually just started a member poll (http://www.christianforums.com/t5860212) on this very issue - changing the name to Fundamentalist Christians instead of churches. Please feel free to vote!

As for the passionate debates, yes we do see those around here. But what I love about this forum is that we are able to maintain fellowship and respect for one another even if we don't agree on everything. And we do share the same recognition for the core doctrines of the faith.

[IamRedeemed]

Okay I will try to find the poll. Oh, I see there is a sign in sheet, I better sign that too.

re: passionate debates

Yes, I don't see any reason to break fellowship on non-essential doctrine. Passion is one thing, unreasonable fits are another. :)

What is very important and I am glad you mentioned it as it is what separates this forum from the others, is that everyone here agrees and holds fast to the core foundational truths of our faith.
How refreshing that will be! :clap:

[Floatingaxe]

I say yes.

[KitsapGirl]

I certainly would have come here sooner if the churches part of the title was left out.

[IamRedeemed]

Ah, so I see I am not alone dahlings. :thumbsup: hehehe
Did you all find that poll that Desmalia posted, so you can vote? I voted
on it already. I voted for #1 option.

Hey girl :wave:
I say yes.

I am a fundie because

1. I am Sola Scriptura. I believe the Bible is the infallible God breathed words of our Creator. No other book is necessary.
2. I eschew vain church traditions that are worthless.
3. I believe that Jesus is the only path to salvation. You have to accept Him as your Lord and Savior in order to be saved. Doing so your receive the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide you in your Christian walk.
4. I believe that Jesus is God incarnate, the second person of the trinity.
5. Every Christian should have the passion to spread the gospel. That is why I am involved in child evangelism, sharing Jesus with children.

My views are also very conservative. I am trinitarian and a young earth Creationist.
