I'm assuming that the author might have done some research into how the typical presby/reform (or any other denom) would have answered the questions given that they had only these questions to answer.
Then those typical answers are compared to those submitted by respondents to the website.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if the questions accurately reflect your denomination. What matters would be if your pattern of answers matches that of known presby/reformed who had to answer.
You should see my results. :>) I was very surprised.
ROMAN CATHOLIC???
ME?
Oh, wait, I did the "What You Are Not Selector....."
;-)
No surprises here:
Rank Item Percent
1: Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene (100%)
2: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.) (90%)
3: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God (89%)
4: Congregational/United Church of Christ (85%)
5: Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic) (84%)
6: Seventh-Day Adventist (79%)

10: Eastern Orthodox (68%)
11: Lutheran (63%)
12: Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England (60%)
13: Roman Catholic (52%)
But, I agree with Suzy that the test isn't really representative of the demoninational boxes is tries to put you in. I had bigger trouble with the style of worship service, there was no room for a blend of styles.

Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic) was second on my list.
I guess we now know who the real historical Calvinists are.
Silly rabbit. 8~)
73% -- there's hope. 8~)
Okay, I'll bite. What were your results?
Welcome to the fold, Rev! Greek School starts Wednesday night after the Presanctified Liturgy (mandatory attendance).
Wow, the subliminal mind is starting to kick in.=^oo^=
I'm sorry for not answering your post last night. My husband pulled me away from the keyboard. Some things are more important than discussing doctrine on Saturday night! Besides, he said I was being too nitpicky about something that was designed for fun.
Actually, the first thing that came to mind, when I read the moderate drinking/dancing question was trying to envision Dr.Eckleburg with a rose in her mouth, dancing.

The internet is trying to tell you something... 8~)

If I didn't know better I would think I was a church goer.
That's assumin' y'all could win me over from the Adventists...
We have pie. 8~)
That's sorta "seeker sensitive", isn't it? ;-)

= 100% Southern Baptist :-)
