I didn't know where Perkins fit in, and I made another completely boneheaded error.

Only got an 8 - and I feel stupid. By the way, anybody read "A Quest For Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life" by J. I. Packer?

I got 7, and I'm Catholic. But my father is descended from a long line of English Presbyterians.

'I'm from the Dutch franchise'

Then there's the joke about a man who died and went up to Heaven. He was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself, who took the man by his hand and led him inside. They started walking down hallways in order to reach their destination -- the place where the man would enjoy himself until eternity.

They walked through one hallway, and the man heard singing and clapping and many loud exclamations of "Hallelujah!" He looked inquiringly at St. Peter, who said "The Baptists."

In another hallway, he heard the voices of many people, raised in joyful song, accompanied by a booming organ. St. Peter told him, "The Lutherans."

Finally, they reached a large wooden door. St. Peter put a finger to his lips and whispered, "At this point, you must be deathly quiet. Please take off your shoes and tiptoe noiselessly." The two tiptoed through a silent hallway. After passing through another large wooden door, St. Peter motioned that they could once again talk in normal tones, and they both put their shoes back on.

"What was that?" inquired the man.

"That's the Dutch Reformed", said St. Peter, "they think they're the only ones here!"

I am pleased to report I only scored a 5. It's not good to be too familiar with heresy. :-)====
