the essence of what god is stated to be in the NT, is not necessarily the fundamental of fundamentalists. what should be fundamental for all isn't what christian fundamentalist focus upon.Although the word "fundamentalist" is used in a negative and derogatory way that is not the original meaning of the word. The root word is fundamental and some synonyms are: essential, basic, vital, and elementary. I believe living in line with the fundamentals of God's word are the only way to be a true servant...
I’m a fundamentalist…and I hope that all who consider themselves to be biblical Christians would declare that as well. The term, however, is used in a derogatory way by many people today. I don’t know why, other than the fact that many simply don’t like Christianity, especially biblical Christianity. But regardless of what its detractors think, fundamentalism is a very valuable concept.
Let me give you an illustration from the sports world. During the college and pro football seasons, the teams’ schedules usually include a bye week. That’s a week that has no game scheduled, so it’s dedicated to practice, and the practices rarely involve tricky new plays. Instead, the focus is nearly always on returning to the fundamentals of the sport.
Throughout the season, players often drift away from fundamental techniques and develop some bad habits that decrease their effectiveness. But sports aside, if one’s fundamentals are wrong in anything, the results aren’t going to be good.
