Fundamentalists taught, “Come on out” while the New Evangelicals taught, “Stay in and fight.”

I think it cuts both ways. You don't necessarily have to compromise your beliefs to try to work in the world and make it a better place. One of the key issues is, simply, voting. Under this definition, Fundamentalists simply stay home on election day, whereas the new Evangelical way of thinking is that if Christians stay home, that simply hands the country over to the enemy.

I'll grant that with the RINO establishment doing its work, there often isn't much choice in who to vote for. But, when that's the case, I think that simply means that all good Christians need to try to fix that, too. On whatever level they can.

It's an imperfect world, and a disappointing one. But it won't get better if the Christians all retreat from the world and let it go to hell. Maybe it will go to hell, anyway, but they should make every effort to fight the growth of evil in the world.

Some believe that when God says for us to come out from the world that they need to take the extreme measure that Jim Jones did and moved to South America.
It has nothing to do with being hermits or isolationism.

It's a mentality, when God calls us to " COME OUT " he means for us to not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of you mind by the word of God.... the greek word for this is metanoia, to have a change of mind, repent, that's what repentance means, to have a change of mind.
You can be on a mountain top as a Christian but still think, act, and do the things of this world.
To not be conformed to this world is to not think like this world thinks, act like this world acts.
The number one influence in this world on our culture is the main stream media and Follywood.
The main stream media and Hollywood is a cult.
God is calling us not to be like them, just as God told Israel not to be influenced by the Philistines.
God tells us Christians not to act like the world does, not to think like man kind does, we are to be different, set apart..... if needs be ? outcasts.
