Created May 2005. A SelectSmart.com Selector
By Tim Bailey
This quiz helps to match you to the different groups that share the name Presbyterian and Reformed. Questions and answers are all based on Dr. Tim Keller's paper, "The Cultures of the Presbyterian Church in America," which is available at http://www.epcnewark.org/recread/TKeller_CultureofthePCA-rev.pdf. Note: Dr. Keller's paper generalized the diversity at a high level--distinctives of some subgroups (e.g. Theonomists, "Federal Vision", etc) are not properly represented in any of the answers.

The first selector question is below.

1. Which of these match your worship convictions?

Support the Puritan understanding of the Regulative principle. Don��t have much desire for mixing worship styles, music types and cultural expressions
Less interested in enshrining any one form of historic Reformed worship and would rather draw on the breadth of the Reformed worship traditions and even create new forms so long as they are true to biblical principles
Neither

Prioritize your choice above: High Medium Low

2. How should the church relate to culture?

The present culture is largely an enemy of the faith and, thus, there is a need to mobilize the church to be counter-cultural and to strongly resist changes that give ground to present cultural trends
Focus should be on ��figuring out�� the secular culture and reaching it, rather than withdrawing, confronting and/or resisting it.
Neither

Prioritize your choice above: High Medium Low

3. The place of Reformed Theological Distinctives is:

At this time, pivotal cultural issues--such as six 24-hour creation days, Christian schooling, or identification with a particular political party, or a particular view of economics or end times--are more important than Reformed theological distinctives.
Put emphasis on mission, evangelism, and church planting. Reformed doctrine is a means to this, but not an end. Therefore, the church should overlook some doctrinal differences with other churches in order to cooperate in ministry for higher Kingdom goals
Strict subscription to the Confession would best preserve the church from liberalism, therefore our emphasis should be on reformed doctrine, tradition, and the centrality of the church rather than personal conversion and lay-ministry.
Neither

Prioritize your choice above: High Medium Low

4. An urgent need in the church is to:

Revive historical forms of Presbyterianism--such as 19th century southern Presbyterianism and/or English Puritanism. Doing so will best safeguard the doctrinal purity of the church.
Fight or stay free of liberalism. Take over the society/culture with Christian politics and individual evangelism. Propagating sound doctrine is not as important an agenda item
Release the church into mission. Flood the culture with evangelized people, then culture will change and justice will prevail.
Neither
