Quiz: Are you Calvinist or Arminian?

[Humble_Disciple]

According to this quiz, I am an Arminian who believes in eternal security:
Are you Calvinist or Arminian?

This quiz is less than ideal, since some answers I only lean towards rather than fully agree with, and I wish there were more options other than just Calvinist or Arminian, but this is the best quiz of its kind that I have found online.

My intent on this forum has not been to convince others that Calvinism is true, but only that they should be more tolerant of Calvinists, especially since some of history's greatest missionaries and evangelists have been Calvinists.

Ecclesiastes 7:18
It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.

1 Corinthians 8:2-3
Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.

Quiz: Are you Calvinist or Arminian?

This is a short quiz to see if you are Calvinist or Arminian. While the average person seems to have a natural revulsion to Calvinism, you might be a Calvinist without even realizing it.

Calvinism is not something to be afraid of. The more I learn about the doctrines of grace, the more thankful I am to God for calling me, and the more I want to live in a way that pleases Him, no matter what suffering I might endure in life.

By the way, "Calvinism" is just a convenient term for a set of beliefs regarding God's election that were common among early reformers. Martin Luther and John Calvin were largely in agreement.

While the following might sound Calvinistic, it's actually from Martin Luther's 97 Thesis, which were written before his famous 95 Thesis:



In case you aren't sure about exactly what the basic teachings of Calvinism are, and how they find support in the Bible:

I started the quiz, but didn't agree with either answer for the first question so quiz over.

That's kind of the nature of polls or quizzes, you go with the answer that you learn towards.

I am neither. Because it isn't an either/or proposition.

If you're a Catholic, you are historically outside the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism, but you can still take the quiz to see which one is closer to your beliefs.

 

[Anthony2019]

Arminianism

 

[Taodeching]

I am neither. Because it isn't an either/or proposition.

Agreed. Further more I noticed the questions were quite bias toward calvinism in their wording

 

[d taylor]

I have an old computer so it would not show up any way.

I am neither, but i know what i am Free Grace.

 

[Paidiske]

I started the quiz, but didn't agree with either answer for the first question so quiz over.

Similarly. I tried a few of the questions, but the wording of them was often giving me a binary choice between alternatives neither of which accurately expressed anything like my own understanding.

I didn't finshed it either, since my view wasn't represented among most questions. I would say: neither!

I believe in Free Will - I am Arminian not Calvinist

But your link Quiz - was very careful to erroneously state the Arminian position so it would not be accurate or true - while of course the Calvinist alternative was also not true.

====================== your quiz could have asked --

1. Do you believe God is being honest in Isaiah 5:4 "what MORE could I have done than that which I have already done? Why then when I expected..."

2. Do you believe Rom 10:10 is true when it says 10 "for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness"??

"and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation"??

3. Do you believe "God is not partial" Rom 2:11 and that "God is not WILLING for any to perish" 2 Peter 3? and yet only the "FEW" of Matt 7 are saved?

4. Do you believe "He came to His OWN and His OWN received Him not" John 1:11

5. Do you believe "I will draw ALL MANKIND unto Me" John 12:32 --??

6. Do you believe "Christ is the Atoning Sacrifice for OUR sins and NOT for OUR sins only but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD" 1 John 2:2 ??

I would like to say again that quizzes aren't meant to be an exact science. You provide the answer that you learn the most towards.

 

[Paidiske]

I get that, but this one is so badly designed as to be meaningless.

 

[zoidar]

I would like to say again that quizzes aren't meant to be an exact science. You provide the answer that you learn the most towards.

In some questions I'm closer to Calvinism and others closer to Arminianism. If I were to choose it would be an easy choice since the atonement question is the most important to me. Leaning towards Arminian.

 

[HatGuy]

That quiz felt more like Calvinism vs Pelagianism .

Yes, I always find this dichotomy exhausting. I say neither, someone quizzes me with yes or no questions then assigns me a category to fit in whether it fits or not.
