So what? Do they DEMAND that you agree with them?

Did he praise what he did right or what he did wrong.Ralph "Yankee" Arnold has praised men like Jack Hyles many times, so I'm surprised he does not identify himself as "IFB".

Up until 2003, I used the term “Baptist” and “Fundamentalist” of myself.
I graduated from a Fundamental Baptist College (1988 BA Maranatha) Fundamental Baptist Seminary (1995 MDiv Detroit).
I served as an associate pastor in three independent fundamental Baptist churches from 1988 until 2003.
I was on the board of a church planting Association of fundamental Baptist churches for a number of years during that time
I say all that to share my background in that I have a strong understanding of what fundamental Baptists are and who they are.
So what happened? I went into church planting in 2003. In our part of Michigan, the “Tom Malone” style of Baptist could be found in nearly every town. The name “Baptist” lost all resemblance of Baptists, historically. “Fundamental” was also a term that people didn’t know (or had other ideas about).
We just called ourselves a “Bible church.” That meant, our Fundamental Baptist brethren were very critical of us and we were not a part of any fellowships. Oh well.
