Christian fundamentalism is based on the following five fundamentals:

1. The Bible is factually and literally accurate.
2. Jesus was born of a virgin and is the son of God.
3. Atonement for sins is through God's grace (made possible by Jesus' death on the cross).
4. Jesus was resurrected.
5a. Jesus performed real miracles, or
5b. Jesus is coming again (many believed it would occur before the end of the second millenium).

There is a wide variety of secondary issues that distinguish fundamentalist churches from each other. The MSM incorrectly lumps in evangelicals and Pentecostals with fundamentalists. This is inaccurate. Although there are overlapping beliefs, Pentecostals and evangelicals are not fundamentalists.

I'm through with you. If you want an education, read books on the subject.

The definition of a Christian is someone who has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and tries to follow His teachings and His examples.

Whenever,[and we all do including Mr. Robertson] say or do things that Jesus would not, then we sin and are not acting as a Christian and we need to seek forgiveness from Him and that word, or deed should not be used to define Christians.

Unfortunately those that hate Christians and it's Founder love to catch a Christian or, someone who says they are a Christian, at his or her worst and point a finger and say "that's a Christian for you".

So which of these fundamentals do the pentecostals reject?
