    1. AG
    2. Reformed
    3. Southern Baptist

    This kind of surprises me.
    Although i tend to be pretty "charismatic" for a southern baptist, i am very much out of line with AG churches in terms of whether or not you can lose your salvation.
    And as for the reformed part, i am by no means a calvinist...but then again, i'm no where near being an armenian either.

    Weird...i wonder how they come up with their conclusions.

    # 1 Reformed Baptist
    # 2 SBC
    # 3 PCA

    I question my number 1 outcome because I am not a full 5 pointer. Likewise, I question my number 3 outcome because I do not hold to infant baptism and I hold to full immersion believer's baptism. Thus, I am a SBC member.

    Very interesting results!

    Of the first Preferences, we have Southern Baptist Convention - 17 Votes

    Second Preferences is Reformed Baptist - 9 Votes

    And Third Preferences is Freewill Baptist 11 Votes

    Not a bad result for a Baptist Board I suppose! [​IMG]

    The key question among Baptists (regarding the poll results) seems to center around question #9

    God has predestined some to salvation and passes over others based only on His will

    Disagreement changes one from Reformed Baptist to Southern Baptist.

    But that is not a good way to make the discriction bewteen the two. Not all SBC folks are total Armenians, some are died in the wool calvinist. Then there are others, like me, who hold to some of the reformed doctrines but not all. For example in the quiz I said that I agreed with question #9, but marked it as a low priority. I hold what the question says to be true, but it is not the end of what the Bible has to says about mankind's freewill. Good theological arguments can (and are) made for both predestination and freewill. It is not difficult to find support for both views in the Bible. Therefore, there must be some third alternative that allows for both to be possible without a contradiction.

    I agree, I was a bit surprised that it would be the difference between the two in the poll.
    Apparently it was the difference to the tabulators of the poll.

    No surprise - I took this a few years ago and probably got the same results:

    1) Reformed Baptist
    2) Southern Baptist
    3) PCA / OPC

    #2 - Reformed Baptist
    #3 - Freewill Baptist
    #4 - Methodist/Wesleyan
    #5 - PCUSA

    I have no idea how #4 and #5 got in there! Unless it was because I said I agreed with women in ministry, but that it wasn't high on my priority list. As it is, I belong to a Conservative Baptist Church.

    I have no idea what the Presbyterian Church in America/Orthodox Presbyterian Church believes, but if this test is worth anything I agreed with them on something!

    Number 18. Tradition plays a part in the church - was a little dubious. I mean, it does play a "part" in the church, but that could mean wildly different things.
