Another one of those tests, this time focusing more specifically within Christianity on your theological bent.

http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=43870

For me...

---
You scored as Neo orthodox.

You are neo-orthodox. You reject the human-centredness and scepticism of liberal theology, but neither do you go to the other extreme and make the Bible the central issue for faith. 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.

Not surprised, although somewhat disapointed in myself for being consistent with 11% of fundamentalist views (id love to know how that got in).
 
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.

But it is inacurate since I didn't know what to click several times, and therefore just clicked in the middle, or neutral opinion. I didn't know any of the names it mentioned for an example.

Now I should admit that I am not really a Christian.
I did answer them in the way I would think God would want though.
 
Karl Barth (1886-1968), the Swiss-German professor and pastor, is regarded by many as a modern day "Church Father." Barth's great contribution to theology, church, politics, and culture will take generations to appropriate and assess. As the principal author of "The Barmen Declaration," he was the
intellectual leader of the German Confessing Church, the Protestant group that resisted the Third Reich. Among Barth's many books, sermons and essays, the multivolume Church Dogmatics -- a closely reasoned, eloquently stated argument in nearly ten thousand pages -- stands out as the crown of his achievement.

........................................

In his commentary on The Epistle to the Romans (germ. Römerbrief; particularly in the thoroughly re-written second edition of 1922) Barth argued that the God who is revealed in the cross of Jesus challenges and overthrows any attempt to ally God with human cultures, achievements, or possessions. Many theologians believe this work to be the most important theological treatise since Friedrich Schleiermacher's On Religion: Speeches to its Cultured Despisers.

In the decade following the First World War, Barth was linked with a number of other theologians, actually very diverse in outlook, who had reacted against their teachers' liberalism, in a movement known as "Dialectical Theology" (germ. Dialektische Theologie). Other members of the movement included Rudolf Bultmann, Eduard Thurneysen, Emil Brunner, and Friedrich Gogarten.
 
You scored as 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.

You scored as 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.

I didn't know any of the persons mentioned and was unsure on what to pick more than once, but the results seem to fit perfectly.
 
You scored as Roman Catholic.

You are Roman Catholic. Church tradition and ecclesial authority are hugely important, and the most important part of worship for you is mass. As the Mother of God, Mary is important in your theology, and as the communion of saints includes the living and the dead, you can also ask the saints to intercede for you.

This is almost entirely me :D ... i should add the fact that i greatly admire the Bible as a "Moral Code" more than i regard it as a religious book ...

Just a thought about this whole quizz - where is the traditional orthodox ?
 
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.

I'm not sure what to make of this, as I'm Mormon. I don't think there is any actual Wesleyan influence there, and I definitely don't think humans are inherently depraved. I do think the Holy Ghost is important, however.
 
You are a fundamentalist. You take the Bible as the foundation of your faith and read it very literally, and it shapes your worldview. Non-fundamentalist Christians have watered-down the Gospel in your view, and academic study of the Bible stops us from 'taking God at his word.' Science is opposed to faith, as it contradicts basic biblical truths.

Some badly worded questions in that poll, particularly where they combine two issues where I might feel one way about one but another about the other.

No, that's simply that one poll's wording. I do agree that we're born with the original sin of Adam and Eve, and that we need redemption in order to be saved, but I don't think I'm depraved.
