In their efforts to appeal to a range running from Roman Catholic to Baptist, they have to compromise on issues that differing theologians feel are essentials to the faith. One of the largest would probably be the Lord's Supper/Communion issue. They are also Arminian in their view of salvation although they also try to use language to appeal to Calvinists. Here is a Lutheran critique: http://www.issuesetc.org/resource/journals/v2n6.htm

From a news article:

"-Ecumenism. In their eagerness to spread the Good News and draw people in, the fundamentalists say, the Promise Keepers get doctrinally fuzzy and syncretistic. The movement's rallies are indeed open to all, and one of its famed Seven Promises calls on men to reach beyond "denominational barriers" on behalf of biblical unity. Some in the movement have downplayed denominational differences as matters of tradition and style. A large PK pastors' gathering in 1996 offered Holy Communion to all as a demonstration of unity.

This ecumenism is abhorrent to most fundamentalists. They have always taken strong issue with Catholic dogma, Mormon prophecy and Jehovah's Witnesses theology and want no part of fellowship, however brief, with such groups."
