Fundamentalism

Two days ago I wrote about fundamentalism and what they believed. However, you can give assent to these statements and still not be a Christian.
Initially fundamentalists said, "We believe these things." (see the blog on Nov 4) However, the next generation said, "This is how you become a fundamentalist. Believe these five tenants and you will be a fundamentalist." Then the following generation said, "Give mental assent to these doctrines and you will be saved." Let me tell you plainly, you can give mental assent to the doctrines, you can say yes to all the right questions and still not be a Christian. Let us go back for a moment. We believe these things because we are a Christian not to make us a Christian. We are saved by Christ alone.
