The differences between us.

'ATTITUDES' OF NEW EVANGELICALISM

1. Disdain toward its fundamentalist heritage
2. Optimism about reaching and winning non-religious conservatives
3. Softer and less precise view of doctrine, with emphasis on the importance of love over doctrine.
4. Willingness to use the world's methods to attract the unsaved
5. Lack of personal separation standards
6. Friendliness toward contemporary scientific views
7. Willingness to accept Charismatic views and/or practices 8. Tolerance toward various eschatological positions
9. Reaction against Scofield Bible dispensationalism
10. Enchantment with contemporary scholarship and intellectualism
11. Softness toward non-conservative views of the Bible
12. Stress upon the need for social concern
13. Desire to cooperate with and work with non-evangelicals in religious matters.
[Dr. George Houghton, 7-8/02 Foundation]

'ATTITUDES' OF BIBLICAL FUNDAMENTALISM

1. Belief that doctrine is important
2. Belief that certain doctrines are fundamental or essential to Christianity
3. Literal interpretation of the Bible
4. Recognition of dispensational distinctions within a premillennial system of theology
5. Belief that religious liberalism is not Christianity
6. Unwillingness to cooperate with or coexist with religious liberalism
7. Emphasis upon preaching, evangelism and missions
8. Distrust of secular higher educational philosophy and institutions
9. Personal commitment to holiness and godly living.
[Dr. George Houghton, Foundation]

Fundamentalists not only separate from unbelief and compromise but also warn about false doctrines and teachers. (See Eph. 5:11, e.g.)
