My Worldview

I think God is trying to speak to me. I mean, not in an audible voice, obviously, but through things I've been thinking about. I've been studying up a lot lately about the emerging church and postmodernism in relation to the church of the 21st century, and much of what I've been reading and thinking about are ideas that I've had in my head for a long time, or just ways that I have looked at the world, but which I didn't have the words to express, or even worse, maybe I thought I would be condemned as a heretic for expressing them. But I'm excited about the whole concept of holistic, missional, Christian communities; as much as I like to study megachurches, I think the future for us is in the "microchurches". God definitely works through our circumstances, and its amazing to think back over the past couple of years and see how God has worked through my circumstances to prepare me for this week of 'revelation'. And its not over yet! I think it's awesome that we can be ourselves, live within our culture, without compromising a "gospel lifestyle".


I'm not sure how much faith to have in these quizzes, but these ones pretty accurately reflect my worldview, so I'm pleased with them.


What is your model of the church?

You scored as Herald Model.
Your model of the church is Herald. The organization of the church is much less important than the urgency of announcing the Good News of salvation to all the world. The Holy Spirit moves the individual to belief in Jesus Christ and to do the will of the Father by sharing this message with others. As with other models, the narrowness of this model could be supplemented by drawing on other models.

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern.
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
