What is fundamentalism? @SanJacinto, John Piper seems to be acknowledging that there are many people more liberal than he who call him a fundamentalist, but he seems to hold that is not indeed a fundamentalist by his standard. I'm specifically interested in John Piper, because I would attribute to him the characteristics I'd normally associate with fundamentalists, and I'd like to understand which characteristics about fundamentalists he does not hold. In other words, what is it about fundamentalists that keeps Piper from considering himself one? |

What is fundamentalism? Thanks. I'm still a little confused about the distinction, because I'm pretty sure that all of the bullets you listed describe John Piper as well (not sure about the hymns). Is there another distinguishing feature, or alternate definition that he may be using? |

When is it too late to ask for salvation? Excellent point about the parable of the ten virgins. |

When is it too late to ask for salvation? @GregMcNulty, to clarify, I'm not saying that I would question the salvation of anyone who became saved in the final hour. I would question it of someone who intentionally waited until the last hour. In other words, someone who claimed to believe that Christianity was right, but decided not to "be a Christian", preferring to wait until the last hour. |

When is it too late to ask for salvation? @DanAndrews, what I mean by "covering his bases just in case" is an inauthentic faith without genuine repentance or submission to God. |

When is it too late to ask for salvation? @GregMcNulty, it's not that you can't wait for the last hour (see the first point in my answer), but (1) it's a dangerous game, and (2) I would question whether someone who intentionally waited until the last hour was coming to Christ with genuine repentance, or was just attempting to cover his bases "just in case" |

When is it too late to ask for salvation? @SanJacinto, well, maybe that would be best for another question :) |

Does proclaiming that all non-believers won't be saved count as passing judgement? edited body |

Does a Christian have a responsibility to participate in government? @JustinY, today (at least in the U.S.), when Christians are urged to vote, it's usually for the purpose of legislating Christian values/morality onto the unbelieving population, keeping "one nation under God" in the pledge, etc. Christianity can survive without injecting itself into government, and legislating Christian values does not solve people's sin problem. Only the Gospel can do that. |

Does a Christian have a responsibility to participate in government? @JustinY, if that were the case, I would probably be more inclined to participate more heavily in government (though I'd say enduring through persecution is more important than preventing it). But I still don't think it's the right area to focus on, and I still don't think "every Christian has the responsibility to vote". Whether or not we individually feel we ought to vote, the Church's focus needs to be on the Gospel, growing in conformity to Christ, and bringing others to Christ. |

Calvinist Regeneration, Interpreting Colossians 2:12 Why wouldn't prevenient grace apply? Couldn't you simply say that God enables all to come to faith, and whoever exercises that faith is saved? |
