The Postmortem of Historic Fundamentalism
Forum category
This four part series can be found http://www.straightwayonline.org/default.aspx?id=200: here.
In the first paragraph of Part One is this statement: ” One may enter a Fundamentalist church now and find it comfortably taking no stand against the apostasy, evidenced by its contemporary music, its “up to date” Neo-Christian Bible versions, and its casual dress standards. (Bold print added)
There are more of these statements that you may find interesting but all centered around the belief that the authors are “the remnant” and the rest of us became the enemy when we went to church without our ties, let our women wear slacks in public, sang music by Ron Hamilton, The WILDS, Soundforth, or Northland (they didn’t even mention the Gettys), and patronized sermonaudio.com
I’m old, I’m a fundamentalist and I’m glad these people don’t represent me.

Ron,
Several years ago, I attended a Pastor’s fellowship where H.T. Spence was the speaker. The first part of his presentation was good. The second part, he did things like suggest that fundamentalism was adopting new age music and he played an example from the “refuge” cd put out by soundforth. It was a bunch of bologna.
Since that time, I know one pastor who had division in his church because someone wanted to root the patch the pirate music out of peoples lives because of what he was learning from Spence. I know another pastor who dumped his fellowship over the KJV stuff that Spence teaches.
You are right, like a number of other groups, they see themselves as the remnant of true fundamentalism.
