ok...i want to play too (maybe have this as part of the ordination exams)...

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

Not so much

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.


Yes

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

Even cooler than that!

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

Currently in the theonomist camp

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.

Calvin is pretty good for a liberal theologian

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

more like a triangular circle

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

Implacably opposed to the 'monsterous Regiment of Women'

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

Sabbath keeping is easier, just has more rules

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

night terror!!!

16. You've considered stoning someone.

I've considered petitioning the government to bring it back...because that's where the sword belongs!

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

Sacrilege!

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

It's still in my copy...and i'm not ashamed of telling folks about it!

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

Always saying thanks.

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

Have you heard that too?

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."

Only after the concordance and maps

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

Lord, unleash your wrath

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

More like them feeling the fires of hell licking at their feet!

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

'cause he had more work to do

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

I shall be a slave to nothing but Christ.

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

Not so sure

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

I prefer the term "Puritanical Presbyterians"

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.

couldn't afford to go there....that's for more affluent Christians.

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

Personality type...maybe ...

Life as an ENTJ
(Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger)

People of this type tend to be: friendly, strong willed, and outspoken; honest, logical and demanding of selves and others; driven to demonstrate competence; creative with a global perspective; decisive, organized, and efficient.

The most important thing to ENTJs is demonstrating their competence and making important things happen.
