In response to Baptists posted by siminspain:

Yes, I would say that's post-modernism. Everything must be seen or taken in the context in which it is given.

Fundamentalism speaks of a movement which started in the USA about 1920. It was an outgrowth of the millenialism of the nineteenth century. At midcentury a Presbyterian minister, Carl McIntyre, rose to prominence as the major representative of Fundamentalist thinking. He was so obnoxious to the general protestant Christian that they disavowed the label of Fundamentalist and took on the mantle of Evangelical.

The Reformed Baptists I know, claim they are not "strict Calvinists" at all. In fact, they try to trace their roots around Calvinism back to the first century. ![]()

It's a tough call, though. And, you are correct about post-modernism. Everything must be understood by itself. Generalized labels just don't do the job anymore.
