My Quiz Score said:
You Scored as Monarchianism
You are a Monarchian. You seek to retain monotheistic belief but in doing so abandon the idea of a triune God. God exists as the Father only, though he can reveal himself in other ways in a manner similar to modalism. Jesus is a man who is adopted into the Godhead and given divine status. Jehovah's Witnesses still hold to this belief.

I do not follow Monarchism beliefs and do not even think mine are that close since I do not believe Jesus is God by adoption or in any other way. I probably through off the quiz results by answering question that were half true or where either true false was wrong with a middling answer.

One of those is whether people were able to stop sinning under the Old Testament with some more added on. The answer is no but they can under the New Covenant if they live by the Holy Spirit which they could of only looked forward to possesing under the Old Covernant. Since either extreme would have been wrong I chose a middle answer.

Pelagianism is more reasonable since my main disagreement with them seems to stem from their belief one can become righteous through human effort while I believe you can only become righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. This leads to our disagreement about the redemptive qualities of Jesus' death on the cross.

Socinianism is probably more of a fit though they put limits on God's knowledge because they believe if he was all knowing then man would not have free will. I disagree with that reasoning and believe God is all knowing. I probably sound more predeterminist than they do also but those questions were not on the quiz.

I did not check the rest.

Ya know, I don't think the RCC is as dead set against Ultimate Reconciliation as what the Fundies are! :D

I think your right Tavita. I forgot about the purgatory aspect of their beliefs.

You Scored as Modalism
You are a modalist. You deny the trinitarian doctrine of one God in three persons and believe that God is one person who manifests himself in 3 different ways, though not all at the same time. Still prevalent in some Pentecostal churches.

You are a Nestorian. You hold that Jesus is two distinct persons, one human and one divine, sometimes acting out of one nature, and sometimes out of the other. Rejected by the Council of Ephesus in 431, but persisted until the middle ages.

Although I am considered a heretic by my Catholic family for having some very protestant leanings.

Luckily I'm a theologian! Imagine how much harder it would have been not to fall into heresy before a lot of these definitions were made.



before there were definitions on these issues there was discussion instead of heretics. My personal feeling would be that it is better to learn to get along and pray for one another while having a mutual goal of serving God rather than a cut and dry definition that is not in the scripture.

Before I knew the present definitions, I was not a heretic. It wasn't me that changed, it was my understanding of what others were actually saying.

I disagree since I really do not care if someone else calls me a heretic since my goal is to please God and not man. If I cared what a human being calls me then would consider myself to be disobeying God. I have also learned that if you are serving God then you will be at odds with others which is why Jesus told us he brought the sword and not peace. The only peace Jesus brings to earth is the peace between man and God and sadly not everyone will grab hold of it. I certainly would like peace between man and man but I am unwilling to accept the cost of such if the cost is giving up the true gospel of Christ.:(

Definitions are a good thing, but trying to decide who is so wrong they should burn now rather than let God judge them... bothers me.

I've gotten a sense of humore about the "only heretics believe that" type statements.

The only gage I actually see scripture telling us to test is the actions of righteousness.

I like having lots of different views argued as long as I don't have to hear the rash claims that someone is going to hell for disagreeing with someone elses interpretation.
