I wonder whose definition of a “biblical worldview” they are using for the standard? I didn’t see it in the article or the linked summary of the survey results. The term “biblical worldview” is fluid and can arguably vary from denomination to denomination, from church community to church community, and even from believer to believer. I doubt there is any real consensus on this. Each of us here could state what we believe it to be, and someone (possibly everyone) here would, based on their own reading of the Bible, disagree. Who is to say? It basically boils down to “whoever agrees with my personal interpretation of the Bible.”

Exactly so. Who gets to say that Pre-millennialism, Post-Millennialism, or Amillennialism is the “correct” Biblican worldview. And what about Preterists?

If someone is going to say “it’s my way or the highway” then religious discourse will have sunk to the same level as American politics.

Exactly. Some would say you don’t “have a Biblical worldview” unless you’re a Young Earth Creationist, some would insist you must believe one out of several versions of the Rapture, etc. Without the questions, this is meaningless.
