New Quiz to Help Find Right Christian Denomination!

UKChristian · May 15, 2014

I got Episcopal 100% which is probably what I would be were I American. I also got Anglican Church in North America 97%. I haven't come across them but as an Anglican here in the UK I think I would probably find a lot of common ground with them. Very accurate in the first two. I got 91% Methodist which I was surprised about as I don't consider myself to have many Methodist leanings. I was expecting the 73% I got for Evangelical Lutheran Church to be a bit higher(I'd certainly try out a Lutheran Church if I lived anywhere near one. The nearest one is 50 miles away). I also usually come out more Quaker in these quizzes than I did with this one. Although as I don't really have a strong opinion on the Quakers that's neither here nor there to me.

Good quiz.

Thanks for sharing! Does that make sense to you?

Yes, it does. I knew beforehand that I was going to be some type of Baptist. Perhaps I should change my non-denominational icon to a Baptist one.

I got Reformed Churches.

Was that accurate or close to it?

Glad to hear it! I am still planning on making some adjustments so I appreciate any feedback I can get.

I would say it's close. I would have preferred more questions to get a closer answer.

Score another one for this quiz, then.

I agree! Unfortunately, the program only allows a maximum of 24, which I provided.

I see. Again like in another quiz it tells me that I should be orthodox. ;-)

Well those two denominations are very close! But, I admit a question about the Pope would have been very helpful. The problem is that I would have to remove one question to add one about that and it would only help differentiate those two denominations.

Albion · May 17, 2014

FWIW, one problem I have with all these quizzes is that the format asks the question AND gives the opportunity to rank it as very important to you or not so important. It's hard to say that any doctrine is unimportant, and to push that little bar all the way to really important makes it seem like you're some sort of fanatic.

Even so, there is also the question I've asked myself, "How much does this part of the quiz affect the final placement, denomination-wise?? After all, I've already said that I agree or disagree with the belief or practice."

I'm thinking that all of us who took the quiz might help you out if we took it again with certain stipulations and see how things turn out THIS TIME.

For instance, we answered about our own beliefs. What if we took it again and answered as closely as possible to what our churches stand for? No exceptions for our personal slants, which we accounted for the first time through.

Or...we could answer exactly as we did the first time through but without moving that bar at all that indicates how intense we are about the answer. That would at least indicate how much that feature affects the final result.

But maybe that'd be good idea, since LDS is also quite high in my ranking...

I am not sure if I knew the teaching of the Catholic church that well.

Well, it did cross my mind that each of us would have to be fairly certain of what a Catholic or Anglican or Lutheran or whatever SHOULD answer. However, some or all of us might have given the expected answers most of the time and yet did tell the truth when we departed from the "official" belief. And we would have done that because we were interested in what church the quiz would say best matches our answers.

But if we took the quiz as a spokesman (as it were) for our denominations, it would presumably show better how accurate the quiz is in putting beliefs and denominations together.

I tested 100% Roman Catholic
97% Eastern Orthodox
LCMS 71%
Mormon 70%

I find this somewhat accurate, as I mostly agree with the Lutheran church I'm in but am converting to Catholicism. However, I have a problem with the fact that I showed up as much MUCH more Mormon than most Protestant. Something's wrong with the quiz if I'm 70% Mormon and 17% Presbyterian. I'd rather attend a Presbyterian church than a Mormon church, hands down!

I recommend you add a few more fundamental questions. Maybe one about the Virgin birth of Christ? The nature of man got skipped over. Do we have a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve? I also recommend you add a question or more that mentions forgiveness... it got skipped over. How about OSAS and whether one is forgiven once or constantly?

I had the same problem with Mormonism coming up very high

1. Eastern Orthodox
2. Roman Catholic Church
3. Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran....

VERY interesting since I was baptized as a baby in the Greek Orthodox church & went to a Greek Orthodox church my entire life until I stepped away from church altogether for a while. Nowadays I've been going to a United Methodist but have been having this intuition to try either a UCC or Non-Denominational lol O

American Baptist Convention and Anglican Church in North America It's going to take me a while to travel to church from New Zealand.

Lol, it would be too much to include all the different denominations from all the different countries so I think the quiz creator just stuck with American denominations. I imagine there are corresponding denominations in NZ

lol Great point! However, you should know (if you don't) that the ACNA is basically just orthodox Anglicanism. I am sure there is one near you!
