Test II

2. Emergent/Postmodern 79%
3. Neo orthodox 75%

Test III
381...but then that test was quite strange. I had a friend who considers himself quite liberal take this test, and he scored 349. I think most Christians who've read the Bible will score quite high.

Economic Left/Right: 5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33

I was interested in how I would score, mainly because I have 'Changed directions' (from a religious point of view) since joining the Forum. As far as I can see, there has been a 'shift' since I last took these tests, some while back, but I still seem to be 'muddled'. Someone unmuddle me, please!!

Quiz 2
You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

Classical Liberal 86%

Emergent/Postmodern 61%

I have never thought of myself as a liberal... I think I'm confused!

At least I got my church right!

Hey Terry, I notice we come out very similarly on the first one, which, in my opinion, is the most accurate.

Number 1

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (99%) 3. Liberal Quakers (95%) 4. Neo-Pagan (85%) 5. New Age (82%) 6. Mahayana Buddhism (77%) 7. Theravada Buddhism (75%) 8. Sikhism (75%) 9. Hinduism (73%) 10. New Thought (70%)

Okay... what????????? - Christian 100%??? I don't believe in God or that Jesus was the son of God but that seems to be of no object to this quiz. How very strange.

I know I have strange beliefs for a Neo-Pagan though so thats no surprise.

Can't do quiz number 2 or 3

Quiz number 4

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

Changed a bit, less Libertarian but more left I think. I'm starting to lose faith in these lines however, since I think that in certain issues, they need to be redefined. For example, my view on abortion sends me to the authortarian side of things. However, I feel I am protecting the right of the child and therefore I view my stance as no more authortarian as condemning murder.

You are a Modern Liberal. Science and historical
study have shown so much of the Bible to be
unreliable and that conservative faith has made
Jesus out to be a much bigger deal than he
actually was. Discipleship involves continuing
to preach and practice like Jesus' measure of
love and acceptance, and dogma is not
important in today's world. You are influenced
by thinkers like Bultmann and Bishop Spong.

My point on the graph is near the far left bottom corner. I go beyond Ghandi, and the Dali Lama.

 

[Izdaari]

Test 1 (just my top 5)

1. Eastern Orthodox (100%)
2. Roman Catholic (100%)
3. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (94%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (87%)
5. Seventh Day Adventist (87%)

That's accurate. Even though I'm actually in category 3 (Mainline to Conservative Protestant), I agree with the RC and EO churches enough that they're in many ways a closer match for me.

My results 2 and a half years ago:
1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (99%) 3. Liberal Quakers (95%) 4. Neo-Pagan (85%) 5. New Age (82%) 6. Mahayana Buddhism (77%) 7. Theravada Buddhism (75%) 8. Sikhism (75%) 9. Hinduism (73%) 10. New Thought (70%)

My results today:
1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (91%) 3. Nontheist (78%) 4. Liberal Quakers (74%) 5. Theravada Buddhism (70%) 6. Neo-Pagan (63%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (56%) 8. Taoism (51%) 9. New Age (46%) 10. Orthodox Quaker (39%)

I'm much less surprised by these results. Perhaps my beliefs and my analysis of my beliefs is now more coherent?

Again, my beliefs 2 and a half years ago:
Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

And today:
Economic Left/Right: -8.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10

I'm becoming more politically extreme, it seems.

First quiz

1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%) (good I am, at least I know what I believe, I buying what I'm selling)
2. Taoism (99%) Yes, I'm a Ch'an Buddhist Mahayana Buddhism mixed with Taoism I agree)
3. Theravada Buddhism (81%) (I live in a Theravada Buddhist country)
4. Secular Humanism (79%) (I'll go along with that)
5. Non theist (72%) (Atheist? yes, I am I agree)
6. Unitarian Universalism (70%) (I don't know about this one the belief is all over the place)
7. Hinduism (60%) (My dear Hindu Brother and Sisters this is no surprise many Buddhists have Hindu tendencies and vise versa)

Well, none of this actually applies to me but I took it anyway just for kicks pretending I was a Christian for the moment.

What's your theological worldview? You scored as a Emergent/Postmodern You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

What does it mean???

 

[Izdaari]

Test #2

What's your theological worldview?

You scored as a Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan

You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavily by John Wesley and the Methodists.

79% Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan
71% Emergent/Postmodern
68% Neo orthodox
64% Reformed Evangelical
57% Charismatic/Pentecostal
54% Classical Liberal
46% Roman Catholic
43% Modern Liberal
32% Fundamentalist

I am actually Assemblies of God, a Pentecostal denomination based on the Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan tradition. It would seem that I fit, but don't emphasize the charismatic elements of it, though I believe in them. It's also true that there's a strong Emergent/Postmodern strain in my theology.

Seems like this quiz got me very accurately. :yes:

 

[Izdaari]

Test 3: That quiz doesn't seem to be there anymore.

"No record was found for the requested survey."

Test 4: The Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: 4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

Yep, I'm a Libertarian Right person for sure! :yes:

Looks like Milton Friedman and I are pretty much political soulmates. But I could've told you that without this quiz.
