I don't believe the term fundamentalist will be helpful in bringing much distinction, since it has long been used as a pejorative. In the negative world, any man who lets his Christianity get in the way of what the secular world views as good will be called a fundamentalist.

Or maybe a "Fundamentalist" could simply be someone that believes what God word teaches on the Deity of Jesus Christ, the atonement for sin, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the inerrancy of scripture and in miracles . Folks that believed these things as I do as far back as the 1910s were being defined or labelled as "Fundamentalists" by those that took extreme liberty with God's word (i.e. the mainline liberal denominations).

Pretty simple, you can call me a fundamentalist. And I believe that Jesus will return for His Church/bride before judging the world after a 7 year period of extreme tribulation and then return to rule and reign over the nations for a 1000 years. But anyone can be a fundamentalist without believing that too. As long as you believe Jesus will return.

It is all good, the word / label "Christian" was also intended as an insult. If you wish to lead me in different direction from the above points, no thank you very much I will follow my Lord and His written word. I am ok with being not of this world.
