Creationism
So I prefer the concept of believing in fundamental Christianity
but not believing in fundamentalism.
And that is while I
prefer to believe the Special Revelation of God himself, I do not have a POPE
or Potentate or Presbytery.
I simply believe the revelation in the Book. JN 17:17
"Thy word IS Truth"
That is my presupposition I Deduce all my beliefs from there.
Holy Spirit testifies of Christ
John 15:26-27 [26] "When the
Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth
who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me
The Word testifies of Christ
JN 5:39, 46 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me."
"For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for
he wrote about me"
"To the law and to the testimony; if
they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in
them."—Isaiah 8:20.

believe fundamental Christianity means to accept fundamental tenets of
Christianity. To believe fundamentalism means to embrace a sect of
Christianity which hammers on the fundamentals. What if that "ism" sect
said that only the KJV was inspired, or that believers need to sell all,
forsake possessions, and live in communes like the early believers did,
or
that anyone who did not speak in tongues and heal the sick were not
living
in the same faith as the early believers? I could go on and on.
The
problem with believing in any "ism" is that if error creeps into the
"ism"
sect at all, it infects the whole group. So I prefer the concept
of
believing in fundamental Christianity but not believing in
fundamentalism.

Then maybe you can flesh it out for the rest of
us.
I am sure Lance can not/will not
I am sure we can see the
difference, but just what are the symptoms of that
particular
ISM?

FWIW: I can appreciate this
distinction Lance makes.
