All this to say that my views have changed and, I trust, matured over the years, as I have known and worked with those from different theological traditions.
Although I eschew many of the prideful and even arrogant attitudes of some Fundamentalists, I am careful not to, as you point out in one of your posts (with regard to the Protestant Reformers rejecting Catholicism), "throw out the baby with the bathwater."
It is true that some denominations tend to attract the obstinate, who believe their particular sect has the only Truth. However, in every church I have attended I have seen good, humble Christians who maintain a godly faith despite the structural flaws of their particular church.
Thus I am careful not to "paint all with the same brush," but rather continue to be amazed at how God has His people in many different churches. All the best as you serve Him.
I’ve known many fine Evangelicals over the years, but I leave it up to God to judge their souls. I’m not qualified to do so, nor is anyone else on this board.

Great advice!
