Charisma

The Charismatic movement is important because it gives a kind of revitalization to the Holy Spirit that I think a lot of fundamentalists missed out on. It also presents some problems concerning the sign gifts and the legitimacy of them.

Fundamentalism

I like fundamentalism, because - when properly done - it can be one of the most Biblically sound forms of Christianity. The problem, however, arises when legalism becomes paramount to doctrine or faith.

Barmen Confession

The Barmen Confession is a theological confession that rejected the Third Reich. This was a big statement in terms of separating church and state in order for Christians to distance themselves from Nazi Germany.

Bonhoeffer

Bonhoeffer advocated a kind of "secular Christianity." That is to say, morally Christians had things right and that they were operationally fine. He did not, however, find much cause to evangelize or emphasize the uniqueness of Christianity.

Barth

Barth's interesting. There are things about Barth I love -- particularly the fact that he holds to election and the notion of a sovereign God. However, he doesn't believe that the Bible has to necessarily be accurate since Jesus is the word of God. This presents problems -- especially since I didn't see Jesus and rely on Biblical accounts to further know Him.

Process Theology

Process theology essentially states that God is mutable, temporary, and fallible. I have a problem with this because it's hard to say there's a supernatural being, but He's just not that supernatural.

Higher Criticism

Higher Criticism deals with a kind of literal analyzing of The Bible. Taking it as if it was any other book and analyzing it's validity based on provable facts. The problem here is that it's both a spiritual and historical document, not meant to be analyzed in such a way.
