IT’S NOT ABOUT “CULTURAL FUNDAMENTALISM” IT’S ABOUT PERSONAL SEPARATION

It has become vogue to declare one’s loyalty to "historic fundamentalism" while distancing oneself from "cultural fundamentalism." "Historic Fundamentalism" is defined by those who affirm this paradigm as belief in the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. "Cultural Fundamentalism," according to those who disenfranchise from it, is fixated on music, dress, ministry associations and methods. While such an argument may be appealing, it is simply not valid. Failure to biblically explain one’s position on matters pertaining to Christian liberty by attacking a newly created straw man called, "Cultural Fundamentalism," will cause increasing polarization among those who profess to know the Lord and love His word. Peace among the brethren will not come as a result of pummeling the straw man called "cultural fundamentalism." Why not? Because it’s not about "cultural fundamentalism," it’s about personal separation!

Beware of those who belittle personal separation by attacking "cultural fundamentalism." To belittle separatism is to belittle Scripture and to ignore what it means to live a life of consecration. It’s not about "cultural fundamentalism", it never has been. It’s about living a consecrated life of personal separation to please a holy God.
