100% Roman Catholic, which I really am.

ha! Put me as 100% Eastern Orthodox and 100% Catholic. NOT LIKELY!

Seventh Day Adventist was only 4th on the list with 94%.

Too many of the questions didn't have enough options for me to provide a precision answer.

Boo! It lumps \"No God\" together with \"Not sure\" and even \"Not important\"! FLAWED.

Considering I don't think I answered Christian, I am shocked by the #2 being christianity. I do identify with many of the general concepts found in eastern religion so Taoism, Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada and Hinduism make sense.

Quakers aren't Christians?

Born again, spirit filled, tongue speaking charismatic christian. Don't need no quiz for that.

Hehe, ever heard of 'reality' television on skyangel? Seriously, thats the tv series hosted by the pastor of our church. I'm right along there with you.

I don't think I can see that show here in Germany. There's only a few international christian channels I can see over the satellites available here.

yeah but arent they a weird kind of christian that doesn't have a lot of standard beliefs? Not as close as calling a mormon a christian, but close.

I must admit ignorance as I don't know anything about them.

Sing it with me:

Never gonna go to church again.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, apologies if I did!

I don't know the verbage here, are you supposed to call mormons christians and quakers christians? I know Muslims believe in the bible and the mormons have an extra book like the muslims, so who is called a christian and who isn't?

AndyX, how did you get the results I should have? severely confused how my answers got my top 2 to be christian, even though I never checked "belief in a diety' ever, haha. great poll

You are a christian if you believe in all the Jesus Christ died to save us stuff. He is our savior, bla bla bla. Mormons believe that, they are christians. And I am pretty sure Quakers do as well. But I could be wrong.

Muslims are not Christians because they do not believe Christ was the son of God nor that he is our savior. They do believe he was a prophet though.

Seems like a lot of people are getting Unitarian Universalism. I wonder why?

Xamindar wrote:Seems like a lot of people are getting Unitarian Universalism. I wonder why?

It's a non-dogmatic, pluralistic belief system. It is to religion what english is to language.

More info

who is called a christian and who isn't?

The controversy over whether Mormans and JW's should be called Christians centers on whether the definition of Christian involves believing that Christ was devine.

The Muslims DO believe in Christ, but the believe he was only a prophet.
The JW's believe that Christ was sent by God, but was NOT God.
The Mormon's believe that Christ was God, but in the same sense that we ALL are meant to become Gods. They believe that \"God\" was once mortal, and we all have the potential to become gods. (correct me if I'm wrong here Xaminder, My Mormon theology is VERY scanty)

Seems like a lot of people are getting Unitarian Universalism. I wonder why?

Ok, religious joke time. Since my Unitarian Universalist friend thought this was hilarious, it should be ok.

What do you get when you cross a Unitarian Universalist with a Jehova's Witness?

Someone who comes and knocks on your door for no particular reason...

Kilarin wrote:definition of Christian involves believing that Christ was devine.

Believing that Christ was divine is true when viewing "Christianity" from a modern perpective. It is NOT true when one examines first century belief as stated in the New Testament; that vast gulf of misunderstanding is so great it will only be eliminated by Armageddon. As Jesus himself said, "Many saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will not enter the kingdom of the heavens. I will say to them, 'I never knew you, get away from me!.'" -Matthew 7:21,23

Only people professing to be Christian call Jesus "Lord." Unfortunately few of these professed christians actually are christian. Most have a "zeal for God, but not according to knowledge." - Romans 10:2

I like this part...

Unitarian Universalism:

We do not, however, hold the Bible - or any other account of human experience - to be either an infallible guide or the exclusive source of truth. Much biblical material is mythical or legendary. Not that it should be discarded for that reason! Rather, it should be treasured for what it is. We believe that we should read the Bible as we read other books (or newspaper) - with imagination and a critical eye. We also respect the sacred literature of other religions. Contemporary works of science, art, and social commentary are valued as well. We hold, in the words of an old liberal formulation, that \"revelation is not sealed.\" Unitarian Universalists aspire to truth as wide as the world-we look to find truth anywhere, universally.

Yeah, that's about right Kilarin. But not \"was\", he \"is\" God of this world.

Xamindar wrote:Yeah, that's about right Kilarin. But not "was", he "is" God of this world.

IF you base your belief on the Bible, then you must know that Satan is the god of this world, not Christ.
Compare 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19, and Revelation 12:9

Shoku wrote: IF you base your belief on the Bible, then you must know that Satan is the god of this world, not Christ.

That is a JW belief. Maybe we should start a new thread if we want to discuss this stuff and leave this one for the results of the test. And I don't base it on the bible alone, I base it on both the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

The bible states clearly that Jesus has taken the rulership over this world back from Satan, and that it is the believers' task to implement it on earth.

Do you refer to charismatic christians? If so, you are dead wrong. "Charismatic" means that we believe that the baptism in the spirit is a distinct and separate act from the conversion and baptism in the water, and that we accept the existance of the gifts of grace of good ("Charisma" = gift of grace), consisting of speaking in new (prayer) languages inspired by the Holy Ghost, gifts of healing, gifts of prophecy, etc, and strive to receive and practise them. That's the only difference.

Xamindar, I couldn't care less about your opinions about being a Christian.

But we can have fruitless discussion #108239482342348203987234 about what makes you a Christian, why you should be one, why you should go to church, why UU is not the answer, but yet another excuse to avoid the confrontation with the one and only true living God, etc. etc.

Pointless, if you ask me.
