My results:
 | You scored as 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.
What's your theological worldview? created with QuizFarm.com |
I know that the test results are only as good as the quality of the questions set and the accuracy of my answers, but this took me a little by surprise. My father-in-law (a Methodist Lay Preacher) would probably approve, but I know of late I have tended to describe myself, slightly ironically, as a wishy-washy liberal – if only because ICC has shaken up so much of my theological thinking (especially the bits I hadn't thought much about before). Once an evangelical, always an evangelical? I've barely ever been in a Methodist church or chapel, could probably count the occasions on the fingers of one hand. I'm surprised to see Reformed Evangelical so far down the list, except that I still don't know if I'm Calvinist or not (but God does! *grin*). Once I would have been relieved to see that the 'Liberal' ones were the lowest scores, but now, I'm not so sure. Catholic above Reformed Evangelical? And what on earth is neo-orthodox? Or Emergent/Postmodern? I don't like the idea of being even 46% 'Fundamentalist', whatever that may mean (it's certainly not what it meant in the 1930s, as I understand the story) Anyway, I suppose it's something to ponder...

Hi nodrog i am Sarahs mum see her blog for the note i left you I tracked you down via the links on Als blog. hi I did the quiz and i came out as a Holiness Wesleyan but then i am a Methodist local preacher but some of my ratings were wierd too. I dont have a blog but I am beginning to think I should set one up!
I've posted you a reply on Sarah's blog too! Hope she won't mind!
An older guy I know at college who has been Baptist for most of his life also came out as Holiness/Wesleyan and was surprised that his Reformed Evangelical score was very low. I'm not sure if that tells us more about the quiz, or what our assumptions are about our own denominations versus our own beliefs!
Why not set up a blog? It could be fun! And it could also be time-consuming, but on the other hand if you don't post for a month, it doesn't matter - you'd be in good company (see October on my blog!)
How often do you preach?
Hey Nodrog! I found out that you had my blog linked on your blog, and thought I'd send a friendly "howdy" from southern USA.
I took this quiz... I scored the same as you - evangelical holiness/wesleyan. I'd more describe myself simply as a Christ-follower. The labels we and our churches place on ourselves do a great injustice to the greater good of the Gospel.
Good to meet you, and good to know I'm now "international!"

Hi TJ,
tried to post a comment on your blog but it doesn't seem to get on with my browser (Safari 2.0.4 in OSX 10.4.8). Anyway, sorry I haven't posted to you yet but just to say I agree with you about labels - it's just that doing a BA Theology and applying for recognition as a candidate for ministry, I just needed to take part in some more assessment... :)
Sue,
Woah, I guess you like a challenge? Hope the assembly went well - if it's like my end of term assessments, it's a case of not in my own strength but by the grace of God!
Blessings
Dave
