About This Quiz
How Calvinist Are You? - Quiz

A quiz about christian theology. Are you Calvinist? Arminian? Cal-Minion? Do you know what you believe?

2. Did God decree and causally determine that I make this quiz?

Explanation

The correct answer is "No" because the question is asking whether God decreed and causally determined that the person making the quiz would do so. By answering "No," it implies that God did not have a direct role in causing or determining the person's decision to create the quiz.

Submit
3. Do the ends justify the means?

Explanation

The given answer "No" suggests that the ends do not justify the means. The explanation for this is that the question is asking whether the desired outcome justifies any actions taken to achieve it. The answer "No" implies that regardless of the desired outcome, it is not acceptable to engage in unethical or immoral actions to achieve it. This perspective prioritizes the importance of ethical behavior and the belief that the means used to achieve a goal should align with moral principles.

Submit
4. If you had to choose one of these statements to describe God, which one would you choose?

Explanation

The correct answer is "God is Love" because it emphasizes the compassionate and caring nature of God. This statement suggests that God's essence is rooted in love and that love is a fundamental aspect of His character. It highlights the idea that God's love is unconditional, selfless, and all-encompassing, making it a powerful and comforting description of God.

Submit
5. Do you believe that humans are so depraved that they can do nothing to earn salvation and that they cannot choose to believe in Jesus without God’s grace?

Explanation

The given answer suggests that the person believes that humans are inherently sinful and incapable of earning salvation on their own. They also believe that belief in Jesus is only possible through God's grace and cannot be chosen by humans independently.

Submit
6. Does God love everyone?

Explanation

The correct answer explains that God loves everyone, but His love for the elect (those chosen for salvation) is different from His love for the non-elect. He offers salvation to all, but those who reject it will be separated from His love in hell. Additionally, the answer acknowledges that God loves even those He hates, as shown by His sacrifice for the wicked.

Submit

Submit
8. Did Christ die for all people without exception?

Explanation

The correct answer states that Jesus died for the world and offers salvation to all people. This means that Jesus' sacrifice was meant to provide salvation for every person in the world. However, it also acknowledges that salvation is only effective for those who believe in Jesus. In other words, Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient for everyone, but it is only applied to those who have faith in Him. This explanation highlights the concept of universal atonement and the requirement of personal faith for salvation.

Submit
9. If God did not decree everything in detail, would He still be in charge? If determinism is not true, would God will be on the throne? If God allowed things, rather than determining them, would He still be God?

Explanation

The correct answer explains that even if God did not decree everything in detail or control everyone's thoughts and actions, He would still be in charge and sovereign. The answer emphasizes that God rules as king over free subjects and will judge everyone in the end. It also mentions that God intervenes to make what He wants to happen, like in the story of Jonah. Overall, the answer asserts that God's sovereignty does not depend on determinism, but rather on His authority and control over all things.

Submit
10. How do you define "all" and "the world?"

Explanation

The given answer explains that "all" means all of all and that's all it means. It also states that "the world" can refer to the physical earth or all the people of the world. Additionally, it mentions that "all" can have different meanings in different contexts, such as all people without exception in the context of God's sovereignty, or all people without distinction in the context of who Christ died for. The answer concludes by stating that in the phrase "God so loved the world," the world means every person on the earth.

Submit
11. God's grace can be resisted. True or false?

Explanation

The correct answer is True. The explanation provided states that God's grace can be resisted in the life of a believer and in the grace given to the non-elect. However, the grace associated with regeneration or salvation is effectual and cannot be resisted. It is also mentioned that God chooses not to make His grace irresistible because He desires a genuine and voluntary relationship with people.

Submit
12. Is election unmerited and unconditional? That is to say, is God's election of a certain person not conditional on anything in that person or any foreseen qualities, works, or faith?

Explanation

The correct answer states that election is unmerited, meaning it is not based on any qualities, works, or faith of the person being elected. However, it is not unconditional. God chooses conditions for election according to His own pleasure. One of these conditions is faith, which is not considered a work. This explanation highlights that while election is not earned, there are still certain conditions that must be met in order for someone to be elected by God.

Submit
13. Is every act of man secretly instigated by God?

Explanation

The correct answer is "No! What are you talking about! That's ridiculous!" This answer is chosen because it directly refutes the suggestion that every act of man is secretly instigated by God. The other options either agree with the statement or provide unrelated responses.

Submit
14. Why should we witness?

Explanation

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of witnessing as a means to share the good news of salvation with non-believers. The explanation highlights that witnessing is necessary because faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and expresses a genuine desire to see non-believers saved. Additionally, the answer mentions that witnessing should be done out of love and concern for the eternal well-being of others.

Submit
15. Has God, before the world began, decided (based on unconditional reasons) whose eternal destiny will be heaven, and who will go to hell?

Explanation

The correct answer states that God predestines people conditionally. This means that God's decision on a person's eternal destiny is based on certain conditions. It suggests that individuals have free will and their choices and actions play a role in determining their fate. This view rejects the idea of double-predestination, which asserts that God has already decided who will go to heaven and who will go to hell before the world began.

Submit
16. Which statement most closely resembles your belief about free will?

Explanation

The correct answer suggests that we are free agents and have the ability to make our own choices, which are not externally determined. This means that we have the capacity to make decisions and are morally responsible for our actions. Additionally, the answer acknowledges that we always have the option of acting differently, indicating that we have free will in the sense that we can choose alternative courses of action.

Submit
17. You are losing a debate. What do you do?

Explanation

The suggested answer is to end the discussion with a speech about Christian love and charity, while affirming respect for the other party. Additionally, it suggests claiming that one was "predestined" to disagree with Calvinism and questioning who the other party is to answer to God. This approach aims to defuse the tension and promote a more respectful and understanding dialogue, while also challenging the authority and perspective of the other party.

Submit
18. James White is...

Explanation

The question is asking for the description of James White. The options "Who?" and "Sincere but wrong" do not provide any information about his qualities as a scholar or his abilities in Greek and exegesis. Therefore, the correct answer is "Sincere but wrong" because it implies that James White may have good intentions but is incorrect or mistaken in some way.

Submit
19. Do you believe in God's secret decree, as opposed to His revealed will?

Explanation

The correct answer is a rejection of the idea that God has conflicting wills. It asserts that God's simple will, which includes His moral will and revealed will, is part of His complex will or the counsel of His will. This suggests that God's different wills do not contradict each other, but rather work together in a harmonious way.

Submit
20. What statement do you feel most strongly about? Which one offends you most?

Explanation

The answer suggests that the statement about Arminianism teaching a man-centered gospel, based on tradition, eisegesis, and sentimentality, is the one that the person feels most strongly about. This statement offends them the most because it implies that Arminianism is not based on sound theological principles or biblical interpretation, but rather on human-centered beliefs and emotions. Additionally, the statement that God does not want all people to be saved enough to give them enough grace for a chance also suggests a limitation in God's love and mercy, which may be offensive to the person.

Submit
21. Are you familiar with the Westminster Confession of Faith?

Explanation

The correct answer is the options "The what?", "I know what it is, but I don't really agree with it.", and "I don't know what it says." These options indicate that the person is not familiar with the Westminster Confession of Faith. The option "Dude! I have half of it memorized!" indicates that the person is familiar with the confession, which contradicts the question.

Submit
22. What is Pelagianism?

Explanation

Pelagianism is a theological belief system that denies the doctrine of Original Sin and asserts that humanity is inherently good and unaffected by the Fall. It is considered the root of Semi-Pelagianism and Arminianism, although Arminians may not openly acknowledge this connection. This belief contradicts the teachings of Arminius, who did not deny Original Sin and instead emphasized the need for God's grace in salvation.
