I always promise myself that I will never take these Facebook quizzes, but then someone brags about their result, and I am drawn into it like a blackhole…
You are the Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist in Minneapolis. You are a brilliant thinker, writer and preacher. However, you also question wether John Calvin was enough of a Calvinist. You wield the sword of protection for any perceived threat to God’s sovereignty. Unfortunately, your idea of God’s sovereignty is pretty much limited to the idea of “Predestination” and not much else. No one can doubt where your heart stands, and you are deeply passionate about Christ. Unfortunately, you are often perceived as being narrow & rigid. It’s not fair, but you might do yourself a favor by not reminding people what degenerate, filthy robots we are. (Most of us already know that)
That’s right, John Piper.
I will never take another Facebook quiz again. Until next week.

I sure hope not! I can appreciate a corporate Calvinism but I still believe in individual free will, but only after God calls us.

I wish i could write like this. It sounds so much like you are really saying something…LOL Piper is often wrong but never in doubt! a useful attribute for theological discussion. Make the most of it.

Thanks, Sonny, I think.
It’s a good think these quizzes rarely mean anything. I mean, everyone knows I am a Captain Kirk, not Chekov. (Still haven’t recovered from that quiz)

Hey! I was Captain Kirk on that one!

Guess what? I turned out to be Piper too, go figure.

Why did I still emerge as Rob Bell?…
So I got weak in the knees and took the misguided: Which Modern Evangelist/Theologian Are You?
Rob Bell
My answers:
The bold two are what Elshaddai and I have in common:
An M.Div is helpful, but you still need the Holy Spirit to help you out as you …

I received 1880. I refused to answer the last one, missed the one about the Message year, the RSV year, and the most popular Catholic bible.

I picked the John Denver song. Maybe that’s it.
