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. <BR/>Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan<BR/> <BR/> 89% <BR/>Reformed Evangelical<BR/> <BR/> 75% <BR/>Emergent/Postmodern<BR/> <BR/> 64% <BR/>Neo orthodox<BR/> <BR/> 54% <BR/>Fundamentalist<BR/> <BR/> 50% <BR/>Charismatic/Pentecostal<BR/> <BR/> 43% <BR/>Classical Liberal<BR/> <BR/> 29% <BR/>Modern Liberal<BR/> <BR/> 29% <BR/>Roman Catholic<BR/> <BR/> 25% <BR/> <BR/>It's funny, if I were not what I am today, I would choose to be Catholic, but this quizz would seem to indicate that what is important to the Catholics is not important to me....go figure....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-22704975527881550642006-12-16T20:06:00.000-07:002006-12-16T20:06:00.000-07:00St. Brianstine,
Of course I am! We all are. An...St. Brianstine,<br /> Of course I am! We all are. Anyone who says differently is deluded. If the law was the Word of God and the end of it, why do Psalms and Proverbs speak well of people who discussed it? What was there to discuss?<br /> Simple. God is relational and he wants to wrestle. I so often here Christians say "He doesnt force his will, because he doesnt want automatons". Yet, for peace of mind, we happily turn ourselves into those thoughtless machines.<br /><br /> I am wrestling and will continue to wrestle. I will not accept the supposed safety of my christian brothers and sisters who tell me to get in line with accepted orthodoxy.

Forgiveness of all those in hell will be up to all those in heaven. something like that. <br /><br />I've always believed that as well, that if God isn't a completely merciful god, then we are indeed all screwed (except maybe for Mother Teresa), though i would suggest this is true regardless what we did or did not do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-25518955056143801592006-11-28T20:42:00.000-07:002006-11-28T20:42:00.000-07:00I share your feelings. If God isn't a truely lovi...I share your feelings. If God isn't a truely loving and good God, then we're all screwed. I love what McLaren says about the churches image of judgement day being like a conveyor belt of people with barcodes being scanned, and if you don't have the right upc label you go to hell. He goes on to say, everyone has faith, so maybe judgement day is more about the works we did. What a novel idea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
