    We should be able to cooperate with like minded Christians, need to know believe exactly the same, but agree upon the essentials of the faith!

    Historically, I blame the New Evangelicals for literally ostracizing good men who were fundamentalists.

    Billy Graham spoke highly of jack van Impe, and jack was a die hard fundamentalist, correct?

    I don't know your time frame for this statement, but Van Impe rejected fundamentalism in 1984. His swan song was a book that year, Heart Disease in the Body of Christ, in which he criticized fundamentalism and fundamentalists, except for John R. Rice and a few others.

    I have no idea what McGee's objections were. As for Van Impe's, it would take too long to list them. The book is over 300 pages long.

    j Vernon main complaint was that many of the Fundy churches and ministries were rock solid in doctrine, but cold as ice in regards to loving other brethren.

    Some yes, some no. His theme was the criticisms fundamentalists made toward other good men, but then a large part of his book was just that, criticism.

    was His contention that many times Fundamentalists would label as being error or even as heresy things that are more along matters of conviction and preferences?

    Nope. And with that, forgive me, but I'm done now with Van Impe. He's not really what the thread is about.

    Agreed, why do you think so few willing to speak or write against false teachings in the Body of Christ now?
