A Protestant on Protestantism?

The devil appeared to a monk, disguised as an angel of light, and said to him, ‘I am the angel Gabriel and I have been sent to you.’ But the monk said, ‘see if you have not been sent to someone else; I am not worthy to have an angel sent to me.’ At once the devil vanished.

Bob Hayton, founder of Fundamentally Reformed

(see http://www.FundamentallyReformed.com ), will address the theme: "Reforming Fundamentalism Through Reformed Theology".

Bob is a former Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB), who now embraces Reformed Theology. He blogs to: 1) spread a passion for Jesus Christ, 2) help people harmed by extreme fundamentalism, 3) incite wider reform in fundamentalism & beyond, and 4) defend his theological positions. Bob also operates the "King James Only?" blog spot, the King James Only Research Center web site and other helpful blog spots and web sites.

According to our guest, Bob Hayton, "Often in fundamentalism, doctrine and Biblical exegesis are downplayed, ignored, or avoided. Topical or shallow messages prevail. Church members learn their do’s & don’ts but not what the Bible actually says (the arguments Biblical authors use, the context of favorite proof texts, or Bible doctrines in general). While fundamentalists claim to be standing on the Bible alone, rare is the church that actually opens itself up to Biblical scrutiny. For instance, it is an assumed thing that the Bible will not actually be shown to teach Calvinism, post-tribulational rapture, or covenant theology. So anyone who would espouse one of these positions or another similar position is immediately identified as a heretic and the church never actually carefully reviews what the Bible says on the matter...

"Fundamentalists assume that their practices, standards, and positions are Biblical to the point of reading into the Bible what is not there to support their traditions and viewpoints... while fundamentalists claim to be the stalwart defenders of true doctrine, they are in fact the defenders of old-fashioned (actually late 1800’s early 1900’s) tradition...
