Which Christian denomination do you belong to? | Comments

Heck yeah! I loved this quiz.
Your Result: Baptist 81%

As a Baptist, you believe that the saved are commanded to be baptised as a public display of their faith. You are strongly opposed to the whole idea of infant baptism. After all, it's not recored in the Bible, and it is impossible for a child, still innocent in the eyes of God, to accept Christ with all its heart, and be forgiven for future sins. Baptists share many views with mainstream reformed churches regarding matters such as infallable scripture, evangelism, the Trinity, and the Second Coming of Christ. However, Baptists also place a huge emphasis on religious freedom, believing strongly in the autonomy of local churches, and more generally the separation of church and state.

I love this quiz!
Your Result: Episcopalian 89%

As an episcopalian, you support the espicopal system and the associated church hierarchy. You believe that positions such as those of Priest and Bishop are necessary within a church, and help keep the flock on a righteous path. Despite being a Protestant denomination, in many ways your views are likely to be more in line with those of the Papacy than any of the Lutheran or reformed churches. The best known espicopal church is the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. It sees itself as being "via media", or inbetween Protestanism and Catholicism. Episcoplians are widely spread throughout the world, but of course the episcopal heartland remains in England.

Sweet cuz that is so true! i am baptist at heart and i have known for a while. i can't wait to turn 18 and go to a baptist church again

Many of the questions limit answers and leaves no room for balanced opinion on the question. Thus answers may not always be accurate since in some areas the options given are in themselves someone's theological and religious opinion and not solidly based on bible or theological fact. In making my choices I found it was a case of choosing a lesser 'evil' in certain instances and the end result of 'puritanical' is completely inaccurate as I have very different approach to faith and the church.... Liberal would be closer to it. I believe we should be Christians above everything and the one defining character is live a Christ centered life without being stuck in the traditional rut yet appreciating the traditions and liturgy of the church.

Penn: I completely understood every proposition in the quiz. Are you asking the survey to be dumbed-down or should you do some homework and wonder why you don't know? The survey was written by someone who knows the different church "camps" and their main distinctives. It covered the nature of the church, salvation, Trinity, faith, atonement etc. I would encourage you to study Grudem's systematic theology to get an understanding of basic Christian doctrine and categories. No hard feelings I hope.

I found this very interesting since I’m a new believer - trying to find my Christian home. I had to look up some of the concepts to ge able to give any answer. But I appreciated the quiz highlighting many issues I was unaware of.

I got 87% Baptist. Which makes sense. I was thinking I might be along those lines. Although I appreciate all forms of Christianity and I listen to Catholic, Eastern Orthodox music and prayers as well as talks but a variety of other traditions. I believe the Church is the body of Christ and that it therefore has need for all different forms of Christianity. Some are the ‘eyes, others the ears’ etc.

A helpful quiz that gave me lots of food for thought as well as confirming where I might fit best within a congregation.

This quiz does not understand Catholic doctrine. It assumes that we are pelagians. We are not. Catholic theology makes it clear that after baptism someone is immediately justified and if they died right then they would go straight to heaven. Works merit an increase in justification (enjoyment of the beatific vision), but they do not grant initial justification. Good works do not on their own save, and you cannot work your way into heaven. You need grace and faith that is lived in love. If you fall away, the work of repentance is needed to restore your relationship, but grace precedes every work.

Furthermore, Catholics believe that everyone has free will AND that nothing can be done without Gods grace, which always proceeds us. Without any grace we have no good, because everything good comes from God. That does not mean we are without inherent goodness. It just means the inherent goodness wounded by sinful inclination is also a grave by God endowed to us from the start.

I got Lutheran... You adhere to the theologies of Martin Luther, one of the first great figureheads of the Protestant Reformation. You believe firmly in salvation through faith alone, the issue which caused Luther to split with Rome. However, you do not accept the doctrine of predestination as it is interpreted by Calvinists, instead believing that anyone is capable of accepting God and entering Heaven. However, Lutherans do believe that all men are born sinners, and as such cannot reject sin through their own free will. Lutherans do have a broad range of views on church organisation, and while they are widely recognised as Protestants, many do not accept this grouping considering it was Luther's intention to reform the Papacy, not split from it.

Yeah I guess its true ;)

Really wanted to like this quiz. Unfortunately, it has some apparent problems. I was found to be a pentecostal, which is absolutely unrealistic. Not even close.

The problem lies both in the questions and in the answer options. Some questions had built-in assumptions (which were oftentimes inaccurate), and many answer options portrayed a very limited range of understanding of the topic. I was forced to leave several questions unanswered. The rest, I had to choose the answer that 'best' fit my view. So that being the case, I can understand some inaccuracy in the outcome, but pentecostal? Yikes.

I like the idea of this quiz, but I just think it needs some work.

Fun quiz! Im not even Christian (Im pagan) but I wanted to see if my moms Methodist teachings stuck, and they seemed to pretty well! 88%! That being said lots of the questions didnt have answers that I wanted, like how to achieve salvation (which I'm assuming is going to heaven after you die) you NEED faith? I like to think the Christian God puts more emphasis on love, and kindness, and being a good person than whether or not you follow Jesus. But anywho! Good to know! :D

It called me a Calvinist! Even though I said people have free will (Qs 3 & 17). Questions 7 and 16 (faith alone and atonement) were difficult because my option was not provided in either. (7: Faith Alone, _evidenced_ by doing good works (James 2) and 16: Atoning sacrifice offered by God to humanity to bring about reconciliation, not appeasement or tricking Satan or even propitiation of an angry god--the sole source of atonement, but not substitutionary.)

Basically what I had in mind. Great quiz.
Your Result: Restorationist 78%

As a Restorationist, you believe that the established churches have strayed so far from God's word as to be irreconcilable. You believe that this is just as applicable to mainstream Protestant Churches as it is to the Roman Catholic Church, and so are unwiling to be grouped with the former. As a Restorationist, you fall into a very broad category of Christianity. You are likely to question traditional Christian views, perhaps refusing to accept the Trinity, or the belief that the death of Jesus on the cross at Calvary is the sole source of atonement. Many smaller churches fall into the restorationist category, with Mormons and Jehovas Witnesses both being placed in this grouping. Nonetheless, it is a very broad grouping, often with a significant overlap into other branches of Chrianity, and so should not clearly define your views as a Christian.

Thank you for this Quiz. It was awesome! You did a great job. Christ Bless you!!!

3)Your Result: Catholic

As a Catholic, you believe in the idea of a universal church, with the Pope at its head. You believe a strong hierarchy is necessary to keep order within the church, from the priests and bishops up to the Pope himself.

It said I'm baptist based on the freedom of religion and infant baptism but I'm not.

I don't have a denomination and I don't believe in the Trinity. I believe that God is God and Jesus is God's first creation not his other part (I think Jesus and his followers made that quite clear)...but I do support a Baptist university in Limbe, Haiti UCNH which does amazing work in Haiti.

We will all find out the truth during the end of times.

I believe in infant dedication by the pastor and the infant is anointed with oil. Me and my brother and three sisters were all dedicated to God in Mount Zion Church. Though its not necessary, It has meaning to me and something like a sign post I can look back to and it has helped me in dark times of my life. The comment below about gender is a real issue and not to be attacked by the ignoranous religious dooahbag below her very honest and valid questions. Im sorry you got no answer so I will do my best to answer. I believe in the bible and believe the bible has Gods opinion on todays issues in society. But God is not stupid and blind to our issues we face today concerning genders, male female transsexual homosexuals bio sexuality etc. I think the answer isnt so much my opinion but Gods unchanging character and According to Malachi 3 God does not change. So I stand with God on it and God loves the world and he loves Homosexuals. He loves sinners but hates sin. If you want to know something that was a revelation to me and that is the most righteous and holy man woman etc is just the same. The bible says that our righteousness is as filthy rags to Gods holiness and standard. The problem is ALL ENCOMPASSING and includes every single facet of our human nature and that includes our best efforts to be holy. Homosexuality gets singled out a lot and other things get put on the pile of excusing. So God has the power to change our nature from sinner to Son of God. Our old nature is not included in that new creation. If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passed away and all things are made new. Neo is the word for new and Sozo is the word for salvation (Ignore me trying to be clever) so homosexuality is A fruit of our sinful nature as is all of our nature. Which is why we need to reckon it all dead and crucified on the cross. And we do by faith even when we still feel the urges of our flesh. That is the battle and struggle to transcend from death to lif

Denominations throughout church history have been helpful to bring out the different distinctions of doctrine within God's Word. However, some denominations are NOT helpful. Also, if you are an atheists, why take the quiz? Why affirm what you deny? Mormons cannot be Christians because they don't believe that Jesus' work saves, but their own "work" saves by good deeds. That is called another/false gospel. Mainline Christianity for centuries have considered the origins and beliefs of the Mormon church to be cultic. Calvinists believe in free will but that human will is either free to sin or fee to obey. Human will is always enslaved either SELF/Satan or to Savior. It is a free will that is bound. Free to sin or free to please God.

This quiz was alright! It didn't guess correctly, it was close, but you know with any quiz depending on your mood, the time of day, and how far you read into each individual questions, you'll get different answers each time. So it was alright! I'll give you that!~

Two comments: First some of your answers are loaded, that is to say you do not offer enough options to get to a true belief system nor do you offer a "none of the above" choice. Second, your English usage needs some help, for instance the distinction between "between" and "among" is misused. A good start, but lacks enough depth.
