I'm A Baptist and never heard of him

As a papist it is my understanding that Baptists are fundamentalists and evangelicals are NOT fundamentalists. That seems to be confusing a lot of folks here.

There are fundamentalist Baptists and evangelical Baptists. Don't worry about it. Let's just read the Bible and let God do the talking. ;-`

No Idea, I just never heard of him before the media started slamming him.

Baptists - even the subset of Southern Baptists - cover a lot of theological ground.

Southern Baptists are not members of the NAE, although some smaller Baptist groups are. NAE members run from Pentacostal to Reformed to Wesleyan; the Salvation Army is even a member. It tends to include groups which want to be part of an ecumenical group but which don't want to associate with the liberal mainline denominations.

Then I will have to redo my post. I am a fundamentalist and not a evangelical. At least I know who I am now. (Not that I'm that confused. I'm a Christian. I think that sums it up pretty darn tight. As for the rest, details that I don't concern myself with.)

Baptist here. But something about the matter of fact way you phrased that is downright humorous. And I don't mean anything unpleasant by that. But some folks might have to scurry for their dictionaries to look up papist.

wrong, fundamentalists are evangelicals with a chip on their shoulders, but I'll agree Haggard was no fundamentalist. I hadn't read last weekend that he was the one responsible for the anti-global warming claptrap.

Basically, being a fundamentalist or evangelical Christian is not tied to any denomination.

Fundamentalist Christianity simply means that the belief is based wholly on the Bible.

An evangelical Christian is a disciple of Christ who goes out to spread the Good News.
