Do fundamentalists think that moderates will go to Hell?

That's the whole point of fundamentalism. They're the only ones doing it right.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I thought so, I just wanted to be sure.

If being a moderate guaranteed Salvation, the fundamentalists would be moderates.

In a related vein however:

are the fundamentalists doing it right ??


Most examples I've looked at, Westboro Baptist springs to mind, no, no they're not doing it right*. Which makes their brand of fundamentalism pretty silly.



*Letting a woman (who wears makeup, mixed fabric clothing, and on occasion was probably menstruating) address men on matters pertaining to religion is a major lapse from virtually any plausible form of Christian fundamentalism.

Depends on the fundamentalist I guess
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Westboro is a church to avoid prosecution and taxes. No other reason.

The ones of I know love to reference Revelation 3:16. So I'd imagine they consider moderates as neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm, and to be vomited out.
