Is Fundamentalism Merely a Belief in “The Five Fundamentals”?

Perhaps they decided to separate because the Scriptures demand, although sometimes that demand is seen by some sooner then others.

An example may be the decision of no longer endorsing Billy Graham. Some recognized the chase to embrace modernism much earlier then others. But ultimately those who were theologically sound had issues with him.

They may not have separated, but neither were they wildly enthusiastic.

 

I enjoyed reading from your link and agree.

To me great damage resulted from Hyles.

I actually do have a favorable opinion toward secondary separation, but know the human nature more often used it for self positional authority then a matter of purity in truth.

Unfortunately, because it got such inappropriate exercise by some who had agenda driven rather then purity driven issues, the backlash has destroyed much of the truthful reasons for such a separation to be in place.

As a result (imo) confusion and lack of discernment has inflicted the assembly so folks are much more inclined to fellowship and include that which is questionable.
