I scored a 35. And apparently I'm a conservative.

Who made this quiz and what are its leanings, I mean what kind of answers did it want me to answer?

For instance there was no choice on the sabbath question for the reformed response;
The Sabbath is a continual command practiced on Saturday from the beginning of the world until the resurrection of Christ, and practiced on Sunday from the resurrection until the end of the world.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?

What are Christianity Today's leanings?? I don't read much of this sort of "pop-Christian" stuff so I am really ignorant of the magazine.

Evangelical...leaning toward Arminian, I'd say.

I scored 49, which means that I am the most liberal of all you guys, but also the most "balanced" according to the scale.

Interesting to note that most of us are in the 40's, with quite a few close to 45. I guess those who are truly reformed should be in the "conservative" camp, (20-53).

I thought a higher score meant more conservative?
