Heh. Par for the course. Jesus said that this would happen in the last days. Family will be against one another.

My family is pretty much dysfunctional anyway. I'd rather hide under the Rock of Ages than to be thrown to the wolves by my family.

That is to ask where did you hear what you have written?


I have found that many deeply entrenched faith systems refuse to accept others. My present UPCI church being as guilty as my RCC family. Dogmas run deep and when one believes that incorrect theology will cause a loved one to burn in an eternal hell it is hard to just agree to disagree. Sadly.

read it slowly in tongue talking cadence... LOL

It's transliteration of the passage in Isaiah that mentions stammering lips, another tongue, rest, etc.

Here's how I came out:

You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.

That was the first time, but I took it again. These were the results after I reconsidered a few of my answers.

The problem that I can see is that Pentecostals are far stronger on the preached word of God than many/most Charismatics. This is a major point of division. Thus the quiz creates and automatic bias. Especially as I feel that much of the Emergent/Postmodern group has come from the Charismatic movement. There are reasons that the term 'charismatic' has left an unpleasant taste in the mouths of so many Pentecostals. That is why those questions are not actually applicable to most Pentecostals. Emotional/expressive worship is important to us, but in nearly equal importance is the preached Word. The test is not accurate in placing the Charismatics and Pentecostals in a single grouping.

I'm sorry--I think you are making an important point here, but you seem to be replying to post #1, and I can't define "it," or "It's" in your post here, ty.

I scored 86 percent Fundamentalist and 86 percent Pentecostal/Charismatic.

Might I ask whom you were addressing? With no name cited, it is nearly impossible to decifer. I only ask because you posted after I did, but never listed whom the post was for. Thank you for clarification.

Ah, sorry. I'm in "thread" mode, which I guess is not the prevailing mode here? In thread, my post answers (questions) Houston, but I see that I should be on the same page? Ty
