Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism

The Golden Goose that laid the Plastic Egg: Random thoughts on FBF Fundamentalism and questions concerning the possibility of an “expanded” fundamentalism to some who refuse the title.

I live in Arkansas and there are not many Fundamental Churches in my area. I was wondering if there was any Fundamental magazines, newsletters, or monthly papers published other than the Sword of The Lord? Thanks for your help.

These are days of disagreement, division, and decline. What are some things that we can do that would be most profitable in serving God’s Kingdom and sharpening one another’s iron for the glory of God?

To All:

Most SI readers are aware of the huge flap in IFB circles over the message by Dr. Dan Sweatt and the three responses by Dr. Kevin Bauder.

Several SI members have suggested that reconciliation may not be possible. Examples in the From the In Box thread include:

Anne wrote, “I don’t think people are wanting reconciliation right now. I don’t think either party is apologizing … are they?”

I’ve been astonished over the last few weeks at how many Fundamentalists think it’s a good idea to have Calvinists (including 4-pointers) and Non-Calvinists (however that may be presented) in the same groups. If we for a moment leave out the mid 19th to 20th century, this seems extremely odd to me. The early Protestant Reformers did not allow latitude on this issue (Luther and Zwingli held doctrines that would now be considered broadly Calvinists). When the Lutheran Church under Melanchthon deviated toward a mediate position, the Reformed congregations considered them “other”.
