EW&F has made 17 posts in this thread. In only one, the OP, did he cite anything Fuller said --two brief citations. EW&F has long claimed that "Fullerism" is an evil force decimating the ranks of the Reformed. Why
then doesn't he provide more than such a feeble amount of material to vanquish his foe? Can't he marshall anything more substantial against Fullersm? Or is the author of the OP simply uninformed about Andrew Fuller and goes about on hearsay?

Perhaps Fuller’s greatest contribution to Christianity was to free us
from the shackles of philosophical theology. Because many could not see
any consistency between God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility they
rejected one or the other. Fuller on the other hand, concluded that any
lack of logic in such thinking was due to his own lacking, not God’s.

Here is a fairly recent work on this topic.
Fullerism or Calvinism? by Peter Lumpkins
Recently, Baptist theologian Malcolm Yarnell put up a
brief review of
Fullerism as Opposed to Calvinism: A Historical and Theological Comparison of the Missiology of Andrew Fuller and John Calvin (hereafter
“Fullerism” ) by
A. Chadwick Mauldin ($12.80 Wipf & Stock Publishers, Eugene, OR, 130 pages ). With a
Foreword written by
Michael A.G. Haykin , Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality,
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary , Mauldin
offers an invigorating proposal to contemporary Baptists—perhaps
especially to those Baptists among us who insist on making Calvinism
proper the theological benchmark for orthodoxy within our specific
theological heritage…>>>

Is this being filtered through the eyes of Southern Baptists?

Peter Lumpkins is a Southern Baptist who wrote the Book Review.Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary , and it appears the book is based on his thesis concerning Fullerism.
[FONT=arial, Arial, Helvetica]Frankly,
believers of Fullers doctrine are believers in heresy just as bad
Arminianism.

EW&F is up to 19 posts now which have not addressed "Fullerism" even an iota. It is plain as day that he doesn't know anything about Andrew Fuller and is spitting blanks.

Now EW&F is up to 20 posts and has offered no evidence whatsoever to establish his thread title. It is strange that someone who has decried "Fullerism" so often fails to even address the subject in his own thread. EW&F has come up with a big fat goose egg.
