My personal experiences with them would be many seemed to be Kjvo, and into separation so much that even non IBF Baptist churches were very suspect
and not just separation but secondary separation

These 5 items listed below (with 'no, no , no , no & yes' as their respective answers),
along with 'Authority in *Baptism' not listed yet, (which can be explained to the best of my ability later),will pretty much cover what could be termed a Historic 'Fundamental' Baptist. Those kind of churches would be properly structured with:
their churches were organized according to the Jerusalem church,
possessing the Same Government (each member has one vote, including the Pastor),
same Officers (NOT 'Apostles'),
the same class of Members (saved, by exemplifying empirical 'proof'),
exactly the same Ordinances, Doctrines and Practices (except MAYBE for the length of skirts; to show the ankle, etc./
)as the churches of the Lord Jesus that He Built and Promised to Continue to Build and Edify,
as The Holy Spirit Supernaturally Dwells within each one, as self-governing Scriptually *Baptized assembling bodies.
Each of these individual bodies, under their Head, Jesus Christ, (just like 'the husband' is the head of each 'wife')
are Commished to Carry Out the Great Commision of The Lord God of the Universe, our Savour, Jesus Christ.
These are the only 'kind' of 'churches' which Jesus also Promised to Preserve on Earth, until He Returns Again, to the Earth (TODAY????)
I would be O.K. with that....
Those folks would Stand for "The Faith Once Delivered to the Saints", and with their disclosed identity, above,
we would entirely assume that they are, to a man, 5-Point Doctrine of Gracers,
with enough of the Truths Listed Here at this Link, to make each brother 'Worth Their Weight in Doctrine'.

These are they of whom God's Word says, "The World is Not Worthy." Then, we are getting into (all caps) "BAPTIST" territory.
Digging deeply, soberly, and selflessly into The Bible always gives us The Home Court Advantage.
You CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT THEY ARE "THE CHILDREN OF THE FLAME".

How do Fundamental Baptists view other Baptists then?
"While in Cotton Grove, Collins and several Baptist ministers asked Graves to comment on the ecclesiological errors that appeared to be triumphing in west Tennessee. When Baptists in the community heard that Graves would be speaking, a small meeting quickly turned into a large rally. The rally was held at the Cotton Grove Baptist Church on June 24, 1851."Though no definitive numbers were recorded, the meeting was apparently well-attended and was quite an enthusiastic event. When Graves rose to address the crowd, he opened by speaking on John 17 and the unity of the body. After lashing out against the pedobaptists, Methodists, and the Campbellites, he turned his attention to the proper mode of baptism*. At the end of his speech, Graves asked those present to examine five questions:
"Those present voted an enthusiastic no on each of the questions except the fourth. For all intents and purposes the affirmation of the Cotton Grove Resolutions launched the Landmark movement in the Southern Baptist Convention. Walter Shurden in his book Not a Silent People, did not fail to notice the importance of what was implied by the Cotton Grove Resolutions:
"Though the term Landmarkism did not become the catchword of the movement until J. M. Pendleton used it in his 1854 tract An Old Landmark Re-set,[33] the movement gained its first adherents and initial support at the Cotton Grove Baptist Church on June 24, 1851..."

Interesting read and backstory, brother. Thanks for the insights and history of the Landmark Baptist brethren. Trained in schools in the North, much of the events in Tennessee and in the SBC are "foreign" to me
I grew up in Central NY - never knew about Landmark Bap - until I arrive in Germany (US Arm) I visited such a church! (the story of that one is long and extensive!) But that is when I first was given a copy of "The Trail of Blood" and informed about closed communion and their other doctrines. In Fact, at one time we had a member here on BB who was a member of that church. (small world) Off hand, I do not remember who that was - or if he is even currently on the BB.
I was trained under "Big B" Baptists and many were labeled "Landmarkers" because of that. But none were officially connected with that group. But proudly Baptist in heritage. We were in the north, so none of the "trace baptism back to John the Baptist" silliness. We could reflect on Baptist heritage back to 1600's England where the foundations of our fundamental Baptist churches originated (by name).
