Interesting…


Pastor JOHN!

Interesting little quiz thanks to Tim and Steve. I thought I’d give it a try. My only involvement with the Methodist tradition was in my Boy Scout troop as a kid at a Methodist church in Los Angeles. Most of my life was hanging out with Evangelicals. I accepted Christ at an evangelical camp and attended a large evangelical Presbyterian church. Two of my favorite Wesley hymns I sang while growing up in the church were, “And Can It Be” and “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing.” No wonder I scored the way I did! Thanks be to God that I’m saved by grace…And to quote my Wesleyan brother…

“Long my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature’s night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee.”

“Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?”

The QUIZ!

You scored as Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan. You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God’s grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.

When it works…It works?

I don’t know about you, but when the first count was read and the verdict was not guilty…I had this feeling that it was over. I also must confess that the “celebrity card” popped up in my head. I hope, I pray that our judicial system worked.
