Elphaba Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I found this short quiz to take that tells you what your theological worldview is. I took it and my results are below. I have no idea who Bishop Spong is, but apparently I am influenced by him/her. It was a little difficult because the questions assumed belief. But it still had plenty of questions I could answer truthfully.Anyway, it was an interesting 10 minutes out of my life. ElphabaWhat's your theological worldview?What's your theological worldview? You scored as a Modern Liberal 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 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.

Gabelma Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 ou scored as a Classical Liberal 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.

prisonchaplain Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 FYI: It makes sense that, lacking a specific LDS category, most will score high in the Wesley-Holiness-Methodist category. The Calvinist-Methodist debates over doctrine were quite heated during Joseph Smith's era, and he sided strongly with the Methodists.

You scored as a Emergent/PostmodernYou 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.Emergent/Postmodern 68%Classical Liberal 64%Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 64%Neo orthodox 61%Charismatic/Pentecostal 54%Modern Liberal 43%Roman Catholic 43%Fundamentalist 36%Reformed Evangelical 29% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prisonchaplain Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 The test is pretty detailed, but the tongues questions were so extreme, I scored more like Nazarene. For the record, most pentecostals see tongues as important, but not a condition of salvation, and not the be all and end all of Christian living. Also, the effort to pit worship against sound biblical teaching was troublesome, imho. What's your theological worldview?
