Another interesting test: http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=Christianity101

My results:
1. Free Will Theology

2. Supralapsarian Calvinist Theology

Maybe some nice poster will explain supralapsarian to me.

I was curious about that too! One website (http://www.the-highway.com/election4_Boettner.html) gave me:

According to the infralapsarian view the order of events was as follows: God proposed,

1. to create;
2. to permit the fall;
3. to elect to eternal life and blessedness a great multitude out of this mass of fallen men, and to leave the others, as He left the Devil and the fallen angels, to suffer the just punishment of their sins;
4. to give His Son, Jesus Christ, for the redemption of the elect; and
5. to send the Holy Spirit to apply to the elect the redemption which was purchased by Christ.

According to the supralapsarian view the order of events was:

1. to elect some creatable men (that is, men who were to be created) to life and to condemn others to destruction;
2. to create;
3. to permit the fall;
4. to send Christ to redeem the elect; and
5. to send the Holy Spirit to apply this redemption to the elect The question then is as to whether election precedes or follows the fall.

Hmm!

Mine are:

#1 Infralapsarian Calvinist
#2 Lutheran
#3 Superlapsarian Calvinist

I guess because I said that I believed in infant baptism--but that has nothing to do with election, in my mind. I'm really not a Calvinist. Really! But that's two tests that have said I'm close to being Lutheran. I might have to pay a visit to the local Lutheran church...

Not at all - I don't need any thunder. Thanks for the ocntribution. I've taken this one before, and my #1 result is mainline to conservative Christian. No suprise there.

Wow! This was weird...I don't even know what the first selection is...???? At any rate, they are:

1) Infralapsarian Calvinist Theology

2) Luthern Theology

3) Church of Christ Theology (Liberal?)

Hmmm...very weird and I am an Evangelical, Bible-Believing Christian. Go figure.

 

[FR0G]

good4u, see Arikereba's post in this thread for definitions. I didn't know what they meant either.

 

[good4u]

Frog,

Thanks. Actually, I saw it after I posted this. I just wish those guys would talk in English and not sound so academic, I can explain most things in theology in lay terms, just go to General Apologetics when I am explaining to an unbeliever in a thread entitled "Is Jesus equal with God?"

Tell me how you think I did. I got the unbeliever to agree with most of what I said. For him, it is moral decision as it is with the rest of us whether we will bow the knee before the Lord Jesus. Let me know your feedback...sorry this got off topic.

 

[FR0G]

I think you did well. Your arguments are well thought out. I need to spend more time in that forum - but reading, definitely not posting!
