I was just curious what some of the different views there are here on these boards.  I myself am a classic dispensationalist.  Essentially I am a Calvinist who thinks that Israel and the Church are two different entities.

I thought Clubber Lang was better.

Oh wait... You said Apostles Creed.  Nevermind.

I don't label myself because I am incapable.

I'm all over the map, basically. Ask me a question and we'll see what I give you. But here is a quick summary:

In Media Millenia Calvinistic


And various other big bad words that I can't think of. Seriously, ask a question and I can explain what I think.

Put me down for that too, in addition (I'm just not currently a member of the Church).

I believe the entire Bible is valid for today(specifically that the OT was not "done away with"), and think denominations of men cause more problems than they solve.

hey,
Here are a couple of theological quizzes. They are of the not-very-scientific variety, but interesting.
The Better One: http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=43870

I scored:
79% - Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan "You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists."
61% - 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."
61% - Reformed Evangelical "You scored as Reformed Evangelical. You are a Reformed Evangelical. You take the Bible very seriously because it is God’s Word. 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.
54% - Fundamentalist "You scored as Fundamentalist. You take the Bible as the foundation of your faith and read it very literally, and it shapes your worldview. Non-fundamentalist Christians have watered-down the Gospel in your view, and academic study of the Bible stops us from 'taking God at his word.' Science is opposed to faith, as it contradicts basic biblical truths."
46% - Neo orthodox    
39% - Charismatic/Pentecostal    
36% - Classical Liberal    
32% - Roman Catholic    
18% - Modern Liberal    

The Not-so-good One: http://selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=truefaith

I wouldn't recommmend using either one of these to pick a church. Where's the nearest emergent Methodist church?

L8er,
Gil

You Scored as Modern Liberal

You are a Modern Liberal. Science and historical study have shown so much of the Bible to be unreliable and that conservative faith has made Jesus out to be a much bigger deal than he actually was. Discipleship involves continuing to preach and practice Jesus' measure of love and acceptance, and dogma is not important in today's world. You are influenced by thinkers like Bultmann and Bishop Spong.

   93%

But I was only 32% modern liberal?

I gave the quiz a rating of 1 star because it told me I am a modern liberal...*cough* I am just the opposite, and you can see that from the numerical results of my quiz:

Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 
 82%
Fundamentalist 
 75%
Reformed Evangelical 
 61%
Emergent/Postmodern 
 57%
Neo orthodox 
 54%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 
 43%
Classical Liberal 
 36%
Modern Liberal 
 29%
Roman Catholic 
 18%


I am assuming that the quiz creator set the default conclusion to read "Modern Liberal" so as to make more modern liberal converts. Lol :D

I am a non-denominational believer.  I believe the Bible is completely true and just as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.  I base everything I believe on the Bible and will not accept false contradictions and beliefs made by men.  The Bible was written by God, and God can never lie.

Are you one of the people who thnk the Bible is a science textbook?

You can still learn from a science book. I learned that from experience.
