John Calvin 67%
Martin Luther 67%
J�rgen Moltmann 33%
Friedrich Schleiermacher 33%
Augustine 20%
Paul Tillich 0%
Charles Finney 0%

I have taken one similar to this and the way a question is worded or how much weight they put on each response per person is always questionable. However, it's still fun. My favorite part of this is I have nothing in common with Charles Finney

The results for that quiz are all messed up. I scored as 100% Barth, 100% Anselm, and only 67% Calvin and 57% Edwards. That couldn't be further from the truth.

[HiredGoon]

I agree with Jon, the results of the quiz are all messed up. I tied at 93% with Luther and Anselm, with Barth at 87% and Calvin at 67%.

 

[Paleoconservatarian]

I'm 100% Barth and Anselm, 87% Luther, 80% Edwards, 67% Calvin, and the rest are fairly low.

 

[Foundthelight]

You scored as Martin Luther.

​

The daddy of the Reformation. You are opposed to any Catholic ideas of works-salvation and see the scriptures as being primarily authoritative.

Agh! You're right! I'm really a closet neo-orthodox evidentialist! The shame! The shame!

I'm not a Calvinist because I dont agree with labelling myself with the name of a man - I am a Jesusist (a Christian)

I don't think any Calvinist thinks they are following Calvin over Christ. What Christ taught is what we believe, but for our purposes on forums, discussions, etc., it easier for people to recognize our theology based off the terms "Reformed" or "Calvinist".

Do you call yourself an human, female, Scot, Briton, Presbyterian, etc.? You could make the argument that any label that is not "Christian" is somehow innately atheistic if we follow this line of reasoning. The label "Calvinist" is not inherently bad. Don't be shy about using it. Everyone understands that Calvinists are Christians. They just don't understand that they are the only consistent Christians.

I think this thread might help explain the justification of the use of labels.

i heard something funny at Bible study last wed nite: true Calvinists are able to fall down a flight of stairs & say, 'whew, i'm glad that's over with'.

 

[leaningonherbeloved]

Yeah, I can see your point - and I agree with ALL that Calvin taught, im just not comfortable using the term Calvinist - I dont know why and I have no reason for it!! lol! Thanks for the link!

that was a line from Tony Campolo , he also said he was so pre-millenial he didn't even eat post-toasties

hey he sure made me laugh on several occassions.

 

[reformedfan]

well he's half funny, half ridiculous then .

 

[StAnselm]

You do realise, of course, that I'm going to have to try to rig it...

 

[StAnselm]

Yes!! Got it first time! (And I didn't even have to rig it...)



You scored as Anselm.

​

Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man's primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due. You should read 'Cur Deus Homo?

Anselm 100%
Karl Barth 80%
John Calvin 73%
Jonathan Edwards 73%
Charles Finney 60%
Friedrich Schleiermacher 60%
Jurgen Moltmann 53%
Martin Luther 47%
Augustine 40%
Paul Tillich 20%

Of course, they're wildly inaccurate...
