So the list it produces is in order of Church, right? Not Q1 makes you this, Q2 makes you that, do I have that right?

If the churches are listed in order of what I am most like, it has me as Episcopal/Anglican first, Catholic is number 6 (I'm Catholic btw: ).

I retook it a lot trying to get a Catholic result and the highest I got it to was #3. The first was Eastern Orthodox....: :

said I was an evangelical Lutheran! I don't know how that got up there! I'm an RC, and Catholic came 6 on my list, too, Irishmommy.
Maybe i was that question about women in the ministry that did it...

Of course, as good little Catholics, we both answered no to that didn't we? NOT!!

I did it a second time with Catholic teachings even if I didn't agree, and it still only came in third.

Well, I am a "good little Catholic" and sure enough, it listed Roman Catholicism as my first match. Must be that agreement that women should not be priests.

Here are the questions that I think specifically lead to a Catholic result...

#6: One is saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

That's frustrating, because while we do agree with the above we also think that we have to cooperate with that grace. We do that by obeying Christ's response to the question, "What do we have to do to be saved?" and He said, "Keep the commandments".

#7: One must be a member of a specific church to be saved.

Again, the simplicity in the question is frustrating. Catholics do believe that our church contains the fullness of the faith that other denominations are missing, but how one is a "member" of the church makes for interesting theological discussions.

#11: Once saved always saved.

That one right there separates the Catholics from most Prostestants. Yes, we believe once saved always saved, we just don't think that we are assured of salvation until we die in a state of grace. Even after we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior we can throw that gift of grace away. Should we choose to do that we are not guaranteed of going to Heaven.

#16: Christ is physically present in Communion.

That's the most obviously Catholic question in the list. What separates the Roman Catholics from the others would be limiting the receiving of Communion to those at or past the age of reason... not infants.

#24: Only Scripture should be used as a rule of faith.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:15 St. Paul says, "Hold fast to the traditions which you have learned whether by word or by our epistle.".

A good link to this discussion can be found here.

merebear: theology right on there! They were the exact questions I didn't know how to answer 'cause the questions missed the nuances of my thinking. (Guess it's the convert in you (right?) that can spilt these hairs.

Still, the woman in ministry thing would have knocked this otherwise faithful Catholic down, but I know where I belong!!!

Darlindeliasmom, what a beautiful statement... you know where you belong. That's exactly how I feel, too.

And, yes, LOL, it's probably the convert in me that recognizes the subtle differences in these questions. That's what happens when you think apologetics is a fun past-time! LOL

I love these things.

I came out:

1) Episcopal/Anglican
2) Methodist/Weslyian
3) Presbyterian USA
4) Seventh Day Adventists (there it is again - maybe I should check it out? See other 'quiz' thread...)
5) Mennonite Brethern :

My dh is a Presbytertian minister (Church of Scotland), which is similar in many ways to the PC-USA church. And I did once go to an Episcopalian church...

I like these questionaires too...

My top 5 results were...
#1Assemblies of God
#2Church of Christ
#3Episcopal/Anglican Church
#4Evangelical Lutheran Church
#5Free Will Baptist

Last 5 were...
#19Roman Catholic Church
#20Jehovah's Witness
#21Mormonism
#22Liberal Quakerism
#23Unitarian Universalism
#24Unity Church

I do attend an Assemblies of God church but don't consider myself AofG. I don't really consider myself Charismatic or Pentecostal as I don't agree with a lot of things they say and do. For example I think Charismatics are way too lax or modern and Pentecostals (IME esp. AofG are too consumed with how much money they bring in). I found it very amusing that Episcopal was # 3 as I personally wouldn't be caught dead in an Episcopal church (or a Methodist for that matter*no offense meant to anyone who is, this is just my personal decision*). I have had the gift of tounges longer than I can remember. I've never been given anything to speak out in church. I've always used my tounges for praying when I didn't know what words to use, especially in times of crisis or emergencies.

My husband was raised Luthern. We are raising our children to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, but not in any particular denomination. We don't believe that you have to attend church to be saved and go to Heaven. We do attend church when our schedule allows but we are by no means die-hards. lol

I got:

#1 Liberal Quaker
#2 Unitarian Universalist
#3 Unity church

I've never heard of Unity Church - anyone know anything about it?

Last was Jehovah's Witness for me.

My denomination wasn't even listed (American Baptist) which is why I think I got the results I did:
1. Seventh-Day Adventist: WAY too legalistic for me!
2. Southern Baptist: Um, hello??? I voted for women in ministry and ranked it as a high priority??!!
3. Assemblies of God: Nope. Too "rolling in the aisles" for me (My mom used to be AoG).

6 &7 were Baptist Denoms-- Reformed and Free Will, neither of which agrees with my belief system.

Interesting quiz, though.

Not a Christian but I get these as my top three:
1. Unity Church
2. Unitarian Universalist
3. Liberal Quaker

It's accurate for me for the most part, and it is almost exactly what I get on Beliefnet's quiz.

My #1 is Evangelical Lutheran Church and I actually am an attending member of an Evangelical Lutheran Church

I was raised Episcopal which was my #3

FWIW, my #6 was Catholic too... Strange

is there a chart or something that tells, simply, what the differences between denominations is?
