Christian fundamentalism

== By denomination ==
=== Independent Baptist ===
{{Main|Independent Baptist}}
Independent Baptists refuse any form of ecclesial authority other than that of the local church. Great emphasis is placed on the [[literal interpretation]] of the Bible as the primary method of Bible study as well as the [[biblical inerrancy]] and the [[Infallibility of the Church|infallibility]] of their [[Biblical hermeneutics|interpretation]].<ref>W. Glenn Jonas Jr., ''The Baptist River: Essays on Many Tributaries of a Diverse Tradition'', Mercer University Press, USA, 2008, p. 125: "Independents assert that the Bible is a unified document containing consistent propositional truths. They accept the supernatural elements of the Bible, affirm that it is infallible in every area of reality, and contend that it is to be interpreted literally in the vast majority of cases. Ultimately, they hold not merely to the inerrancy of Scripture, but to the infallibility of their interpretation of Scripture. The doctrine of premillennialism serves as a case in point. Early on in the movement, Independents embraced premillennialism as the only acceptable eschatological view. The BBU made the doctrine a test of fellowship. When Norris formed his Premillennial Missionary Baptist Fellowship (1933), he made premillennialism a requirement for membership. He held this doctrine to be the only acceptable biblical position, charging conventionism with being postmillennial in orientation."</ref> [[Dispensationalism]] is common among Independent Baptists. They are opposed to any [[Ecumenism|ecumenical]] movement with denominations that do not have the same beliefs.<ref>Bill J. Leonard, ''Baptists in America'', Columbia University Press, USA, 2005, p. 115</ref> Many Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) churches adhere to only using the [[King James Version]], a position known as [[King James Onlyism]].<ref>Bill J.

=== Nondenominationalism ===
In [[nondenominational Christianity]] of the [[evangelical Christianity|evangelical]] variety, the word ''biblical'' or ''independent'' often appears in the name of the church or denomination.<ref name="Samuel S. Hill 2006, p. 77"/> The independence of the church is claimed and affiliation with a [[Christian denomination]] is infrequent, although there are fundamentalist denominations.<ref>Samuel S. Hill, Charles H. Lippy, Charles Reagan Wilson, ''Encyclopedia of Religion in the South'', Mercer University Press, USA, 2005, p. 336</ref>

Reformed fundamentalism includes those denominations in the [[Reformed tradition]] (which includes the [[Continental Reformed]], [[Presbyterian]], [[Evangelical Anglican|Reformed Anglican]] and [[Reformed Baptist]] Churches) who adhere to the doctrine of [[biblical infallibility]] and lay heavy emphasis on historic confessions of faith, such as the [[Westminster Confession]].<ref name="Dorrien1998">{{cite book |last1=Dorrien |first1=Gary J. |title=The Remaking of Evangelical Theology |date=1 January 1998 |publisher=Westminster John Knox Press |isbn=978-0-664-25803-0 |page=42 |language=English}}</ref><ref name="Carter2019"/>
