free interview with the vampire the vampire chronicles What’s your theological worldview? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.

Now I just need to work out what the heck they mean by all those catgeories…
I am happy to accept that I am totally depraved, but I might mean it in a more vernacular sense 🙂
On a more serious note, the doctrine of total depravity really does need some clarification as to your average punter it really doesn’t add up. Very few people I know are totally depraved (according to the common usage of those words), but – if I understand it right – total depravity refers to the idea that every part of our being is tainted by sin then that is different.
There is much goodness in the world from saint and sinner alike. Perhaps that is common grace. Perhaps it is the imago dei shining thru.

Part of our need to keep our language for theology current rather than buried in the past, isn’t it? We do it with Bible translations, we need to do with theology.

yeah that’s some funny stuff, I cam out as emergent/postmodern (89%) then wesleyan (79%) with charismatic pentecostal at 36% and reformed at 32% – which is despite the fact that these last two are the spheres I generally operate in… LOL
Yeah – I did the test – we have a lot in common except on The RC deal.
I went through it again – and have discovered, no – we don’t have a lot in common.
quiet night down your way Mark?! Home alone, cooking your own food… blogging… just don’t drink too much red. That’s when I alwasy come unstuck – red wine and blogging are a bad combo!

Kinda interesting when you consider that I grew up in a Catholic charismatic community.
You scored as a 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.

The blurb bit is quite insightful for me. My Baptist Sunday school teachers would be a bit upset I suspect, but I’m pretty comfortable with the outcome – however the heck he/she gets it from some of the questions posed!!
