Thanks, Ruben, for the clarification. I suppose evangelical Presbyterians don't identify themselves as fundamentalists -- even though they are obliged to acknowledge it to some degree. So in that case I concede your remarks are applicable to certain baptistic groups. Blessings!

I think that in the U.S.A. only the Bible Presbyterian and Free Presbyterian groups would self-identify as fundamentalists, and I am not sure whether the Bible Presbyterians would continue to use the term.

Of course, even among the baptistic groups there is a sense that with the increased usage of "fundamentalism" as a label for consistent muslims, that perhaps a different term would be more appropriate. So Bob Jones III suggested "preservationists" a little while ago, but it does not seem to have caught on.

Oddly enough, a related conversation took place recently on the Bayly Blog.

Thanks again, Mr. Winzer, not only for the sharpening of the thinking but for the reminder of intellectual charity and fairness.
