This describes me, I think. I just started attending a Methodist church and love it so far, but I certainly also have pomo, liberal, and neo-orthodox leanings.

You most likely hold to TULIP and are sceptical about the possibilities of universal atonement or resistible grace. The most important thing the Church can do is make sure people hear how they can go to heaven when they die.

First two kind of contradict themselves no? Not to mention there is no way I am more of a neo orthodox than a fundie.

What's your theological worldview? You scored as a Emergent/Postmodern You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Yeppers! Welcome home!

"Moderate" is a misnomer for this place anyway. We voted to change it to Bridge Builders, a much more accurate name, but for some reason the change is tied up in red tape. This place is more about being reasonable, tolerant and inclusive than it is about holding a specific theological view. So why doesn't that make us liberals? It just doesn't, though there are some liberals here. Many of us (me for one) are conservatives on doctrine but with a different attitude. And many of us don't like the whole liberal vs. conservative dichotomy and are trying to transcend it.

I like the title "reformation guy"

The funny thing is, most people at my (very liberal) seminary take me to be kind of conservative, but the internet always thinks I'm a raving liberal, presumably because of my stance on the various "culture wars". That said, Evangelical Holiness is new. I don't think anyone has ever accused me of Wesleyanism before, though I realize looking back which questions led to that score.

This is kinda funny. I've only attended maybe one or two Methodist services in my entire life.

Here's what happens when a deist takes this test

You scored as a Classical Liberal
You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

Izdaari, looks like we may be almost on the same page theologically.

Yep, pretty close!

I've considered Anselm and wondered about him, so I looked him up:

Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033 – April 21, 1109) was an Italian medieval philosopher, theologian, and church official who held the office of Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109. Called the founder of scholasticism, he is famous as the originator of the ontological argument for the existence of God and as the archbishop who openly opposed the Crusades.

Click to expand...

Anselm's Argument may be summarized thus:

1. God is, by definition, a being greater than anything that can be imagined.
2. Existence in reality, and imagination is greater than existence solely in one's imagination.
3. Therefore, God must exist in reality; if God did not, then God would not be a being greater than anything that can be imagined.

This is a shorter modern version of the argument. Anselm framed the argument as a reductio ad absurdum wherein he tried to show that the assumption that God does not exist leads to a logical contradiction. The following steps more closely follow Anselm's line of reasoning:

1. God is that entity than which nothing can be greater.
2. The concept of God exists in human understanding.
3. God exists in one's mind but not in reality.
4. The concept of God's existence is understood in one's mind.
5. If God existed in reality it would be a greater thing than God's existence in the mind.
6. The final step to God's existence is that God in reality must exists.
