What Kind of Christian Are You? (Quiz)

Hey guys,

I came across this quiz online. There are a bunch of multiple choice questions and at the end it tells you which type of Christian you are.

beliefnet.com wrote:What Kind of Christian Are You?

What kind of Christian are you? Does your faith resemble Joel Osteen? Billy Graham? Bishop Spong?

Answer these 21 questions on what you believe about the Bible, Jesus, prayer, and more, and discover your Christian identity. We donâ€™t guarantee that youâ€™ll be pleased with the results, but we promise youâ€™ll have much to discuss with friendsâ€”and that youâ€™ll be inspired to deepen your faith.

My result was:

beliefnet.com wrote:You are A Bishop John Shelby Spong Christian

A.k.a. a Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong Christian. Your Christian history begins with the Gospel of Thomas, or at least you'd like to include any and all ancient reports on Jesus in your understanding of the Christian savior. Some people call you a "mainline" Christian, which is an odd moniker since "mainline" is simply shorthand for historic denominational Christianity in America. But for several decades, mainliners like you have not identified with evangelical Christianity and have incorporated liberal theological concepts into the practice of the faith.

Watch video with Bishop John Shelby Spong. Read about Karen Armstrong's Charter for Compassion. Visit the Progressive Revival blog.

I've never heard of him, so I watched this brief video by him. I agreed with what he said for the most point (not a big fan of baptism at birth but, aside from that).

Y'all go ahead and take the quiz and tell us what your result is!

It was an interesting quiz. Im not sure how accurate it was though.

Here are my results:

You are A Billy Graham Christian
A.k.a. a Rick Warren, Beth Moore Christian. Your Christianity emerged with John Calvin and Martin Luther, and was refined in America by D.L. Moody and Carl F.H. Henry. You subscribe to Christianity Today and read Karen Kingsbury and Ted Dekker novels. You've taken the Love Dare. Or notâ€”this category of evangelical Christian is broad and diverse, but is held together by classic evangelical theology, including a high view of scripture and the emphasis on a personal relationship with Jesus.

I got this result too.

And it didn't have KJV on question 16 as an answer. What kind of quiz is that?

My favorite translation of the Bible is...
* The New International Version or New King James Version.
* The English Standard Version.
* The Revised Standard Version or New Revised Standard Version.
* The Living Bible.

The NKJV replaces the archaic words of the KJV with modern words. Like no more "thou", "thee", "ye", "thy", and "thine".

I'm predictably a Karen Armstrong. Glad to see beliefnet includes us!

BTW, not to spam or hijack, but if you like these kind of quizzes, here's one I created with my wife that is more about how you believe rather than what you believe. We created it because we found an earlier beliefnet quiz to be inadequete. Anyway, have fun.

I find that quiz you posted to be extremely accurate. I read through the sincere seeker definition and it seems to describe me perfectly.
