What's your theological worldview? created with QuizFarm.com |
No surprise on the Wesleyan front, as I grew up in a Methodist church. I suppose Mr. McLaren would be happy to know that "emergent" emerged as the leader.
(Thanks, Jason!)
(I present this for fun and discussion. Please, no argumentative emails..)

Yea, I am not Emergent!! Woohoo!!

Even though I am a good Southern Baptist, I wasn't suprised to see I was way up there on the Emergent/Postmodern category. I guess that's handy since most modern theologians say this is where the church is going. I think Marcus Borg does an excellent job of showing how the "emerging paradigm" looks in his book The Heart of Christianity.
Of course, having seen Celtic Christianity first hand I have a sneaky suspicion that the emerging paradigm isn't as new as most fundmentalist would like us to think.

Wow Mark! You've got a lot of people from the Wesleyan camp on your blog. I'm a Methodist, and apparently over the years I've been given (and understood) a lot of our doctrine. I had to google the two people who were mentioned in the questions. Bishop Spong denies a lot of what the church has stood for for 2000 years. I wouldn't have known that without reading a bit about him.

I don't know if it's too much of a surprise--my parents were Methodist, and I go to a non-denomonational church.
On the "emergent" front, I answered some of those probably slightly differently than I would have before I read "A New Kind of Christian". I find that really interesting.

Well, here's mine! Seeing as my background is Free Church of Scotland - full on Calvinist - it's hardly surprising that I rated so highly on the Reformed Evangelical front! I was quite surprised that I came out so highly in the Emergent/Postmodern department! Don't worry too much about the Fundamentalist thing, Traci! I'm right behind you!
Still trying to recover from Frenzy! Great pics on the 3D boards. Shame Tai had his kilt on the wrong way round.... Hahahah!

I wing quizes LOL. I do know that I am a fairly newbie Christian. My family left the Catholic Church in my pre-teen years, so I was raised my teen years searching (as my mother was introducing me to crystals, and bizarre new age stuff). Funny, and I definately have to check into why I scored how I did...I found my way back to a Baptist church a few years back and have faith in what I have faith in...

Thanks Jason and Mark for this neat quiz! My results weren't all that surprising but I loved having to read the questions.

I tend to overthink these quiz questions, so I don't know how accurate this is, but here are my results:
Emergent/Postmodern 86%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 82%
Fundamentalist 71%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 57%
Modern Liberal 54%
Classical Liberal 50%
Reformed Evangelical 50%
Neo orthodox 46%
Roman Catholic 21%
The 71% Fundamentalist makes me look bad, doesn't it? Can you be fundamental in your belief, but not in your approach?
As for the Charismatic/Pentacostal number; my grandmother loved to visit Pentacostal churches when I was a child. I suppose some of it stuck.
Food for thought....
