This is the second day, the second quiz, that has slightly alluded to the fact that I may have Calvinistic tendencies.
Personally, I was rather hoping for something like what Doug Chaplin or Michael Whitenton, who fared much better than I. Of course, I am taking it like golf – the lower the number, the better.
I must pray, as I recieved the same score as Dr. West. Perhaps a public fast for my soul is required?
If you feel that you must, you can take the quiz here, but be warned, the results could be dangerous yomental well being.

Oh my! Yes, do pray and fast. Plead for mercy from the Lord! (Though, with a score like that, you’re likely not to get it. Sorry.)

I see the Holy Spirit is moving in you my friend.

Yeah, i hit 39%. Calvin himself wrote wonderfully – especially on the creation. Lust for life pretty well disqualifies you from the Calvinist school – i wonder if Calvin himself would be rigid enough today.
But you, Joel, we are praying for you. Candles have been lit!!!

This quiz makes no sense to me.

A quiz that guesses how well you fit into an inaccurate stereotype.

as others say, this is why that quiz is basically useless.

Oh no! Don’t blame the quiz!!! Joel IS that depraved. LOL But those of us on the lower end of the Calvinist scale can choose to love you anyway.

I’m waiting for the crowds to dissipate. Too many small people packing in to see Harry right now. I will get there.
Didn’t Calvin have Servetus burned for reading a translation other than the vulgate? *snicker*

I was joking about Servetus…a play on KJVO..and apparently a bad joke.

The Spirit is fine – Calvin, not so much.

I am pretty rigid, for myself, kinda like a social monasticism, but I would never impose that on others. I love life, I think!
I must do penance.

Looking at the quiz, it might be stated as a ‘Puritan’ quiz, since it really doesn’t cover doctrine – but it does torment my Arminian friends.

Oh, very funny, Sonny, but you were predestined to be so. Aren’t you hogwart’en today?

That was a certain William Tyndale, who at 30 years old had translated the NT for the first time from Greek to English – my personal hero. No Servetus got burned because of this insistence that the Reformation reexamine the Godhead.

Oh, sorry then.
