You've heard of evangelicals and fundamentalists, but who are they?

I'm a Christian fundamentalist, without apology, in that I believe in the fundamental doctrines that make up the historic faith. But where I differ from my fellow fundamentalists is that I don't balk at all rated R movies, shoulder-length hair on men, or imbibing the occasional alcoholic beverage. Moreover, I don’t feel a suit and tie or ankle-length dresses worn at church are a sign of someone’s spiritual maturity (although something could be said for their reverence, to be sure).

At the same time, I'm also an evangelical, in that I believe in the authority, infallibility, and inerrancy of Scripture, a high-minded approach to Bible study, the exclusivity of Christ in salvation, and the criticality of spiritually regeneration (being born-again)—among a number of other crucial beliefs. But sometimes secular society, particularly political pundits, confuse ‘evangelical’ and ‘fundamentalist.’ I wonder how many in the Church do as well?

I suppose with Christians like me—who proudly boast in being an amalgamation of the two—I contribute to blurring the lines. Here is a really decent article in USAToday that does a good job demarcating between the two.
