1) Jesus said, If you don’t believe in who I am at least believe in what I do. He lived a moral life helped people and sacrificed himself. 2) Most of the Christian founders personally believed they were living in the end times, but most people in the world at the time never heard of Jesus. 3) Paul said, though they don’t know the law they show that they have the law written in their hearts by their works.
How can these Christians groups call themselves fundamentalist when they don’t believe the whole Bible?

"I am the way, the path and the life" has been misunderstood. Jesus was refering to his teachings, not himself as a man. He said know him is too follow his teachings.

You have to follow ALL thr rules. They are't spelled out oin one simgle place in the Bible
That's why we read and study His Word
Hear the Word
Believe the Word
Admit that you sin
Repent of those sins
Be Baptized
Live a faithful life
Do this and you will make it

ok believing in Jesus dont make you a christian. once saved always saved is wrong teaching of the churches today.. you have to believe first then repent the try your best not to ever sin again and if you do repent again you can say the prayer when your 12 and turn 18 lets just say and live how you want to live just because you was saved anf baptized at 12 you have to stay in the Godly life style. It says repent and be baptized so thats the first 2 steps to being a christian..then it is reading the word and learning it. and living the way Jesus lived on earth. He is the way,the truth and the light . He is the only way . and through him you have to ask for forgivness humbley and he will grant it.

Works are merely an outpouring of what is in a person's heart. Even a person who does not know Christ may do some good things but with what motive and for what purpose. Any good that comes out of my life is as a result of my faith in Christ - not to "Earn" any favor with Him. I serve Him because I love him. When we all stand before God some day He will not be concerned with our church or denominational affiliation. His question for us will be "Why should I let you into My Heaven?" The only acceptable answer on that day will be that we have accepted the gift of salvation that His Son freely offered.
The gospel offends because it is "foolishness to those who are perishing". I don't want to spread a message of hate because no one was ever hated into the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, if I choose to not embrace the sins of the world I am labeled "intolerant".
There is folly in saying that it is enough to believe in God. The Bible says that Satan himself believes and he and the demons tremble at the mention of Jesus name. Head knowledge is not enough. You must receive it for yourself. Like a gift at Christmas with your name on it. It is there for you but does not really become yours until you open it.

It COULD be because the covenant of the New Testament is very clearly stated.
In the covenant, Jesus states that NO ONE goes to the Father but thru Him. That HE is the Way.
So, since salvation of the eternal soul is thru entering into the covenant (accepting Jesus as the Savior of your soul), then a person would be, by default, a "Christian".
Pick, choose, edit. Word games, semantics and attempts to confuse do NOT change reality.
It really IS that simple.

They think it is a very strong USP for marketing their wares.Most humans are so busy and committed to earn their daily bread that an idea of a heaven seems far fetched to them and even a phony one. Any religion like any other consumer good has to remain relevant(retain acceptance) to the times and most religions have failed to understand this vital issue and therefore loosing their ground even faster than they can even imagine.So?A new breed of clergy is required.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Salvation:
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

the bible has been edited and altered by many people through the years even by pagans because some of the roman emperors/popes at that time were pagan so it is fair to say that some Christians don't exactly believe the whole of it because it has been tampered with to please the people at that time and merge paganism with Christianity
