So there's this quiz/evaluation floating around out on the Internet that many of the blogs I read have mentioned. Supposedly it takes your answers to a bunch of questions and determines your best fit theological world view, it was pretty interesting, though I think some of the questions hit grey area.You scored as 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. Emergent/Postmodern 86% Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 68% Classical Liberal 64% Modern Liberal 50% Neo orthodox 50% Roman Catholic 36% Charismatic/Pentecostal 32% Reformed Evangelical 14% Fundamentalist 4%
What's your theological worldview?
So apparently I am not just waving my flag under the newest theological fad, and I really do think differently (some would call it "liberal" or "post-modern"). Although I do like the idea of being able to label myself somewhat, in case someone were to ask me such a loaded question, I'd almost rather not be categorized at all. Afterall, the labels we apply are based on the trivial differences we see each in other, which then give us a reason (however misguided it is) to alienate, separate, and promote a superior/inferior attitude.
