Distinctives of Fundamental Churches

As discussed on the Fundamentalism page, there is a wide variety of perceptions and claims regarding the term "Fundamentalism." In order to clarify the type of churches that we are specifically seeking to list in our Fundamental Church Directory and to assist with our Church Placement Service, this page seeks to clarify what types of churches are being referred to as Fundamental on this list.

If your believe your church fits the description provided on this page and you would like to have your church listed, please fill out the church information on the "Submit Church" form (there is no fee for this service). If your church does not fit this description, you are free to use one of the many other church directory services available online.

Some of the distinctives given on this page are here to help set apart this list from some of the other "Fundamental" church lists available on the internet. This list is for what I term as "Mainstream" Fundamentalism. As such, not every church that finds itself listed on some of those other sites will be eligible for this site.

* This church holds to the historic Fundamentals of the Faith - the inerrancy of Scripture, the virgin birth of Christ, the substitutionary atonement of Christ, Christ's bodily resurrection, and the historicity of the miracles.

* This church holds to the concept of Biblical separation - including separation from the world, false teachers, and disobedient brothers.

* This church believes that salvation includes repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ.

* This church uses a conservative translation of Scripture (such as the King James Version), but does not make the use of that particular translation a test of fellowship.

* This church does not practice speaking in tongues or other "charismatic" manifestations.
