Something With Which To Buy Time While I Finish Out the Semester
Today we are going to check where we are in the scope of theological traditions. You can do it here and you have to post the results in the comments section.
For the record- I was 100% Presbyterian-Reformed (can you imagine?)
100% Presbyterian/Reformed (of course), but the choices are really bad. For example, in the first question the "best" answer is
"Creeds and other documents from church tradition should be used little or not at all, for Scripture is clear enough to speak on its own.".
There is plenty of room for creeds (like my personal favorite, the Westminster Confession of Faith and larger and shorter catechisms) but creeds aren't based on Church tradition, they are statements of the system-of-doctrine taught in scripture, unrelated to church tradition. I guess, however, only someone who is 100% presbyterian/reformed can see that distinction.
100% Baptist (Reformed/Calvinistic/Particular)! That figures. I agree that some of the coices are really bad, though, for example, there's no post-mil option on eschatology, and no 'the Gospel, not the Law is a believer's rule of conduct'.
But 95% Congregational/UCC? I suppose we ought to ignore the second placed result. It's silly. 88% Presbyterian I like.
Well, I'm 100% Congregationalist, 94% Baptist (Reformed), and 88% Presbyterian/Reformed. While I freely admit I have some Baptist leanings (as I grew Baptist), I too blame the poor questions. Fun though. :-)

I am also 100% Presbyterian/Reformed. Shocking eh?
Apparently I have Congregationalist tendencies. Go fig.
100% Presby/Ref but 88% Congregationalist...that is pretty high for that one....?!

I don't know how they figure that...
