    Took the survey, come from a strong fundamentalist heritage. The questions were ok I guess. The rapture question didn't give you the choice of not believing in a seperated rapture and second coming, I checked I don't know. Can't wait for the results!?!

    What is the purpose of a survey like this? Is it an honest attempt to meet the needs of the coming generation? Or is it more of a shock, oh no you won't believe what they think kind of thing. Will the results actually alter what we teach and preach?

    I read through the survey but did not submit it because I am over 35. I for one hate being put in a box and limited by someone else's labels. My ministry and life have included lots of different types of churches, all of whom were serving God in their own ways.

    I don't think that this survey is going to make any difference one way or the other in fundamental circles. I had a hard time answering some questions as well, since I did not like the way they were worded.

    Took the survey. There quite a few questions that should have read "Many fudementalists..."

    When I took the survey, I too felt that a few answers were difficult to choose because of the wording. There were some questions that I had to 'write in the box' in order to clarify what I believed. I didn't have a problem with the survey over all, and I do think it was written well, but it should have been 'tested' out before it was put on the internet for all to answer.

    Notice that when the questions were asked, the options did specify that you should choose the option that most closely resembled your beliefs. For the purposes of a survey like this, I thought the questions did about as well as you could without requiring everyone to write an ordination paper... :D

    Results will be FACTS based on the survey. How those FACTS will be interpreted will vary on the presenter and each one looking at it.

    Old-line militant fundamentalists I am sure will bemoan the terrible drift of the young men. Young men will see it as a new paradigm - that they CAN be fundamentalists without the baggage that has been added to the movement in 1950-2000.

    In the past 5 decades fundamentalism (at least from the Baptist viewpoint) has drifted into legalism [euphemism: standards], majoring on minors, arminian 1-2-3-pray-after-me "decisionism", and hero worship.

    I think the younger men who are willing to say "I AM A FUNDAMENTALIST" may be liberated from that.

    My fear is that they will throw out the baby with the bathwater.

    Greg,

    Thanks! I had actually gone to this site before, but didn't realize that you have to click on each of the posted topics to look at the results individually on each post. Just FYI to everyone else.

    I agree that the direction of fundamentalism is moving towards reformed/Calvinistic theology.

    Also, a move away from isolationism and separation from fellow believers.

    I know that many of the graduates from the independent Baptist schools do not adhere to the "fundamentalism" that they are being taught. And amen for that.

    As for throwing out the baby with the bath water. Old-line fundamentalists will do that for you. When you graduate from a seminary like TEDS, they all but disown you.
