What’s your theology?

By Jason

I took this online test, link from Sivin Kit. The results are predicated on the limited questions, and I wouldn’t read too much into it, but it was a fun survey. Looking at the results it says I feel alienated from the older church, which I do not. So take the test and let us know what you come out as. :-)

Emergent/Postmodern
79%
Neo orthodox
75%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan
68%
Roman Catholic
57%
Classical Liberal
32%
Charismatic/Pentecostal
25%
Reformed Evangelical
25%
Modern Liberal
25%
Fundamentalist
4%

    Same as yours, but with Charismatic/Pentecostal and Classic Liberal swapping places (46%/29% and Fundie and Mod Liberal tied at 18% each. I find this very funny, and I’m happy to be in such good company!

    There were a couple of questions in this test that I thought were a litle ambiguous, but I know that if I’d taken it five years ago the results would have been very different! I’m pleased with the result because it means that I understand things more than I thought I did (I don’t have a theological background). I love to talk about stuff, too, so the whole idea of dialogue and conversation appeal to me very much. Thanks!!

    I am Emergent/Postmodern in my theology. check
    I feel alienated from older forms of church, check
    I don’t think they connect to “modern” (methinks they mean “current”) culture very well. check
    No one knows the whole truth about God. check
    and we have much to learn from each other, check
    and so learning takes place in dialogue. check
    Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. check
    People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this. check

    Emergent/Postmodern 86%
    Roman Catholic 71% !? LOL
    Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 57%
    Neo orthodox 50% ?
    Classical Liberal 46%
    Fundamentalist 21% (see comment)
    Charismatic/Pentacostal 18%
    Modern Liberal 14%
    Reformed Evangelical 11%

    The quiz relied mostly on buzz-words and terms heavilly laden with hidden, cultural meaning. The catagories also reflect cultural meaning, but of a different context. It seems the quizsters were trying to get the pop-christians to see how they rate according to an old skool rating system. This is inneresting, but doesn’t necessarily reflect any kind of objective context. There really is no such thing.

    I am proud of the Fundie label in this context because it shows those who doubt my Biblical integrity or who merely dismiss me as a liberal or fuzzy-headed pomo that I haven’t fallen off this wonderful flat world of ours yet. But these quizsters have no more ownership over true qualification for any of these catagories than any other pop-quizsters. It would take hundreds of questions using clean words with precise definitions to get closer to that mark, and it would still be a bit off because those words change from culture to culture.

    Case in point: I suspect that they think I’m RC because I agree with many Orthodox doctrines, and they aren’t taking them into consideration because they are still outside the bounds of this culture more or less.

    I don’t even know what neo orthodox is. I’ve been linked to Holiness before and I find that inneresting, but most of the people I know don’t associate Holiness with specific doctrines, but instead with an obsessive moral fine tuning. Methinks the Holiness/Wesleyan thing isn’t really part of my sub-culture as named, but maybe parts of it are as a reaction to other stuff. Same with Classical Liberal – which I don’t know what that is either. I’m so glad to score low on the Mod Lib! That one is simply worth drinking to!
