Puritan Board Junior
You might be a TR (Totally Reformed) if...

1. You first quote the Westminster Confession and then say, "Oh yeah,
the Bible says this somewhere, too."
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.
3. You secretly believe that you have to believe in election to be saved.
4. You think Puritans are really, really, really, REALLY cool.
5. While not being a theonomist, you completely understand them.
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.
7. Removed because it's not funny.
8. A "Reformed Baptist" and a "square circle" are equally as difficult
for you to imagine.
9. You wonder what the Holy Spirit was up to between the times of Paul
and Calvin.
10. You think women belong in the home and not in any pulpit, much less
a staff position in large churches.
11. At some point in your life, you honestly believed that the only
people who are saved are you and your buddy who thinks just like you,
and then you kind of have to wonder about him because he DOES think just
like you.
12. You think any church that has more than 200 people is probably apostate.
13. You are personally repulsed by Campus Crusade for Christ.
14. It is harder for you to keep the Sabbath than it is to fill out your
taxes.
15. You keep telling yourself that Willow Creek has to be a really bad
dream.
16. You've considered stoning someone.
17. You've seriously thought about lighting up a cigarette in church.
18. You think "that Pope as the Antichrist thing" should never have been
taken out of the Confession.
19. Saying a blessing before the first round of drinks doesn't seem
strange to you at all.
20. Your favorite Bible is your "Authorized Bahnsen Version."
21. You're convinced that everyone in your Presbytery is secretly a 33rd
degree Mason.
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."
23. You pray daily for God to release His judgment on para-church
ministries.
24. You think no true evangelism has been done without at least 3
lengthy quotes from the Confession.
25. You can't figure out why God didn't take Van Til like He did Enoch.
26. For you, tobacco is its own major food group.
27. You like Sproul Jr. a whole lot better than his father.
28. You think John Gerstner was an Arminian who knows better now.
29. You think the "Concerned Presbyterians" are way too moderate.
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.
31. You have no idea what personality type you are, which explains why
you are a TR.

You might be a BR (Barely Reformed) if...

1. You changed the name of your church from "Knox Reformed Presbyterian"
to "Grace Community Fellowship."
2. You've ever seriously considered going to Pensacola or Toronto to
bring back the fire.
3. You think what the church needs is another revival, not another
reformation.
4. You've ever done an "infant dedication" service.
5. You own more than one book by C. Peter Wagner, David Wilkerson, James
Dobson, or Gary Smalley
6. You don't own anything by Charles Hodge, Archibald Alexander, or B.B.
Warfield.
7. You think it's a good thing that many of your members don't know the
church is Presbyterian.
8. The words "relevant, contemporary, and cutting edge" cause you to
salivate excessively.
9. You don't trust anyone who doesn't have exceptions to the Confession.
10. You consider it to be in bad taste to ask theological questions of a
candidate on the floor of Presbytery.
11. You've ever cut a service short because of "Super Bowl Sunday."
12. You constantly use the word "just" while praying (i.e. We "just"
really want to thank you).
13. You switched to using overheads so people would have their hands
free to "just really worship God."
14. You believe the greatest work on Apologetics ever written was "More
than a Carpenter."
15. You wish there was some way of incorporating an altar call into your
service.
16. You have a "worship team."
17. You believe that Republican and Christian are synonyms.
18. The most common logo on your casual clothing is "PK."
19. You nod your head when someone says, "Doctrine divides."
20. You could sell your copy of the Confession in "like new" condition.
21. You think that the PCUSA went Liberal because people just really
stopped loving Jesus.

TR (Totally Reformed), #32 - you believe the title of the second list should be changed from "Barely Reformed" to "No where near Reformed".
