You believe that Christ is God's most important revelation to humanity, and the Trinity is hugely important in your theology. The Bible is also important because it points us to the revelation of Christ. You are influenced by Karl Barth and P T Forsyth.

So... I am 68% Wesleyan, 50% Reformed, and 98% confused.

You scored as 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.

Whoa there, hey now, but I don't even believe in "total depravity." What's up? How did I answer the questions wrong? Still not a fundie, though. Not surprised 'bout that.

See, Karen, its slowly seeping in. Pretty soon you'll be a full fledged Calvinist and run around talking about TULIP and the Solas and all kinds of stuff. Your're in the closet now, but you're sneeking out. What percentage TULIP are you up to these days? :-)

Date: Sat Jun 18 17:32:11 MST 2005 Subject: Yeah, but I'm post-modern, too!

Rod, I knew you'd tease me about this, but you did it even more quickly than I bet on. Since you asked, I'm 3.8 on the scale these days. I reckon it's 0.5 on the T thing, 0.5 on the L, 0.8 on the P (AKA "BT," begrudging trudgery) It's always been been a full 1.0 on the U and I points, respectively. Hmm. I think that's good arithmetic, although maybe not the best theology!!

I had to answer a tie-breaker question to tip me over to get a picture of that dead white theologian ;-) But wait, I do believe in the communion of saints (including those gone before me) that made me way more Roman Catholic than I'd have thought...and I guess that dead white theologian ain't really dead, huh. It's interesting that I "became" a Christian while I was attending a Methodist church. Took my first communion there. That's the Methodist equivalent of immersion baptism ;-) But I did that too, later on, in a Southern Baptist church.

FYI, still haven't spoken in tongues. (Although I studied French a really long time and can converse quite comfortably w/the natives of Paris.) But I think that last November, I experienced being "slain in the spirit."

Now, back to my cappuccino in Fort Collins, CO.

Check the filename for the pics, it gives them away. I had to check on Barth too. So . . .
-Total Depravity
-U
-Limited Atonement
-Irresistable Grace
-Perseverance of the Saints

So, can I still be a Calvinist while not remembering "U"? Or, can I still believe in "U" even if I don't remember it? Would a four point Calvinist who doesn't believe in "U" be a nihilist? Or an egotist? Sorry. Anyway. The question was originally: what does "U" stand for?

I've never been slain in the spirit, but I lost my balance on a staircase once.

You scored as Reformed Evangelical. You are a Reformed Evangelical. You take the Bible very seriously because it is God's Word. You most likely hold to TULIP and are sceptical about the possibilities of universal atonement or resistible grace. The most important thing the Church can do is make sure people hear how they can go to heaven when they die.

From: emily
Date: Mon Jun 20 14:43:36 MST 2005 Subject: scared

So I'm feeling conflicted. I would really like to join in the fun but when I went to the test site I got an anxiety attack. First there were, like, so many words that I wasn't sure of the meaning. "Sola Scriptura" I think I can guess what it means but I've never heard it used in conversation...And I what exactly is "incarnation". Not something about chili con carnation...probably not a floral display...maybe a brand name for dairy products?...no...my guess is that its more closely related to a word I'm more sure of "reincarnation". You may be laughing but I really don't have any useful meaning connected to the word "incarnation". In my mind it is just under the nebulous category "theology".

I gave up when I came to the question "dialogue is more important than direct confrontation" Umm..what exactly is that supposed to mean? If you directly confront someone then there's no dialogue. If you are dialoguing then the rules are that there will be no direct confrontation? I'm so lost.

From: derek
Date: Mon Jun 20 15:26:45 MST 2005 Subject: explanations

Alright, lets see how I can do:

1. "Solo Scriptura" was one of Luthers statements. Latin for "by Scripture alone." Meaning, basically, Scripture has the ultimate say, not tradition.

2. "Incarnation", according to dictionary.com:
Incarnation Christianity. The doctrine that the Son of God was conceived in the womb of Mary and that Jesus is true God and true man.
-So, Jesus is both fully God and fully man. He has a true experience of being "one of us" as opposed to being partially us and not feeling all of our sorrows and pain.

3. "dialogue is more important than direct confrontation"
I took this as sort of a "I know the truth, I will correct your failings," versus "Let's figure out the truth together." Mostly in a Socratic dialogue way, walking them through their belief to walk them into the walls it creates. Basically, being gentle and suble versus being bold and strong.

Other stuff, just in case.
4. "Bishop Spong" uh, basically, is against fundamentalism. Defended homosexuality. I'm not sure how accurate that description is. But, it's something along those lines.

5. "Karl Barth" um, not sure how to sum up. Combined a lot of more postmodern philosophy with traditional theologies. Got crap for saying that the Bible may not be a historical record. Uh, basically, challenged fundamentalism.

6. "Trinity" technically isn't stated in the Bible. Father, Son, and Spirit are in the Bible, but the "all-for-one and one-for-all" is a theological statement of the early church. It's also a statement made by Alexandre Dumas in his book "The Three Musketeers", which I don't believe is a metaphor for the Trinity, mainly because I can't place d'Artanigan (sp?). Although, maybe he represents Pete Best.

Although he can be prone to fits of rage, he has a big heart under that organic steel skin.

Thanks Derek -- And actually I was going to complain about all the people I had never heard of but felt the blog was getting too long. I was happy to hear the the Spong person was real and not just subtle reference to Sponge Bob. Now I feel like I can face the test.

Date: Mon Jun 20 18:22:21 MST 2005 Subject: The Guy in the Pic

The guy in the postmodern pic would be Bryan McLaren. He's a pastor who's written a bunch of books lately about transitioning the church into the present and about helping people with no church context connect with Christ. That sums up what I've seen of him, although I think he also has a broad mix of theological ponderings represented in his writings, including questions about whether hell really exists.

My advice on this quiz...know your gender - seriously, I think you get extra points for that.

You scored as Jean Grey. Jean Grey is likely the most powerful X-Man. She loves Cyclops very much but she has a soft spot for Wolverine. She's psychic so she can sense how others are feeling and tries to help them. She also has to control her amazing powers or the malevolent Phoenix entity could take control of her and wreak havok. Powers: Telekinetic, Telepathic
