1. You first quote the Westminster Confession and then say, "Oh yeah, the Bible says this somewhere, too."

Yep.

2. You refuse to vote for Jesus as Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" because you don't want an image of Christ on the front cover.


Yep.

4. You think Puritans are really, really, really, REALLY cool.

Definately.

5. While not being a theonomist, you completely understand them.

Yep, and I still might switch.

6. While officially affirming the "priesthood of all believers," the only people you really trust to interpret Scripture are Calvin and yourself, and you only trust yourself on Thursdays before noon.

Nope. Only Calvin.

8. A "Reformed Baptist" and a "square circle" are equally as difficult for you to imagine.

*Shrug*

10. You think women belong in the home and not in any pulpit, much less a staff position in large churches.

Ding ding!

14. It is harder for you to keep the Sabbath than it is to fill out your taxes.


I don't think I've ever kept the Sabbath truly.

15. You keep telling yourself that Willow Creek has to be a really bad dream.

Don't know what this is.

16. You've considered stoning someone.

Only one? Can I add in "burn at the stake" too?

17. You've seriously thought about lighting up a cigarette in church.


Nope, but I would like to light up a good pipe.

18. You think "that Pope as the Antichrist thing" should never have been taken out of the Confession.

I wrote it back in.

19. Saying a blessing before the first round of drinks doesn't seem strange to you at all.


Don't you say one after the second round too?

21. You're convinced that everyone in your Presbytery is secretly a 33rd degree Mason.

Some of them are masons... seriously...

22. You know that the Apocrypha doesn't belong in the canon, but you wonder sometimes whether we should add Van Til's, "The Defense of the Faith."

The only reason it's not in my Bible is because Sproul Sr. was the general editor.

23. You pray daily for God to release His judgement on para-church ministries.


Only those?

24. You think no true evangelism has been done without at least 3 lengthy quotes from the Confession.


Amen!

25. You can't figure out why God didn't take Van Til like He did Enoch.

Stumps me.

26. For you, tobacco is its own major food group.

Gave an oath to the misses I'd quit.

27. You like Sproul Jr. a whole lot better than his father.

Can't say that I do. Sorry.

29. You think the "Concerned Presbyterians" are way too moderate.

When I get concerned, I get upset. If they aren't "Upset Presbyterians" something is wrong. When the Reformed get concerned, heretics get burned...

30. The only reason you haven't condemned Covenant Seminary is because you went there and you don't want to invalidate your entire theological training.

No dice here.

31. You have no idea what personality type you are, which explains why you are a TR.

Huh?



Do I pass the test?
