Serious question. How do you define "fundamentalist"?

Do you believe that everything that happened in the Bible literally happened?

Yes.

The Bible tells us when something is meant to be taken as allegory.

I am curious, if it isn't too personal, and if you haven't done so on this forum yet about your personal religious experience. How you became a Christian. For example, did it happen over time or did you have some kind of experience that converted you. Not important if it too personal, but people's stories interest me.

I suppose it happened over time. I have thought of myself as a Christian for a long time. I have gradually grown more devout over the years.

I'm still in the process of growing in my faith. There are still changes I need to make in my life. I strive to serve and please God, and I need to try harder in my efforts to do that.

Out of curiosity, how do you interpret John 10:16, the whole "I have other sheep not of this fold" verse? Obviously my church (I am LDS) interprets it to partially mean the people described in the Book of Mormon, but of course for churches and people who don't believe in the Book of Mormon, that's a non-starter argument. So what's your view on that verse?

It's referring to the sheep outside of Israel, or Gentiles.

Truth is truth, yesterday, today, and forever.  Jesus Christ is still Lord of all, and he WILL come back to judge the living and the dead in righteousness.  Those who will not repent will perish, unfortunately.

Well said. The truth is the truth, whether modern society wants to hear it or not.
