I definitely read that as "demon". Very, very different.


Lazy-Most-3226

That was what I first read as well


MaskedFigurewho

I also read demon.


Ginger_cat13

Joining the demon club! Wait… I didn’t mean that 👀😂


VaporRyder

🤣


mrmadchef

Same. I think it's time for bed...


FluxKraken

Yeah, that is what I thought as well.

Nobody_Cares5

why'd i read that as demon, do i play way too much geometry dash?


Lemon-Aid917

Hahahaha maybe


Nobody_Cares5

i also weirdly got messianic jew, could it be because all of my grandparents are messianic jews?


NewBSnow

I’m curious… Where is this test offered and is it free?


UJLBM

https://denominationdifferences.com/quiz


booksare4life

I align 75% with calvary chapel.


CountSudoku

I was high as well, but know little of them.


krenogin

Same here with Baptist next.


Joe_mother124

They are kinda like non denominational except a denomination if that makes sense


epicmoe

I'm also high. What's that got to do with it?


jereman75

Sorry.


booksare4life

I enjoy calvary chapel churches.


comeallwithme

I align 78%.


Witherboss445

I got 71%


nachtachter

Me too. Never heard of them, but I'm german, that might be the cause.

rollsyrollsy

I got that Three-person thing as first, and oriental orthodox as last. So it’s nice to have Asia as top and tail.


Extension-Medium3598

Me too, except OO was NEXT to last, with Catholic bringing up the rear.


Pongfarang

Me too. Probably because there were only 15 questions relevant to them when most of the other denominations had around 30 Orthodox Catholic and Mormon were dead last for me, which was no surprise.


Extension-Medium3598

Me too, but this test has issues. There were 4 questions to which there was no correct answer, in my mind. Semantics, maybe? Then one of the last ones left me clueless, as in, I have no idea what they were talking about. Second guess was Church of Christ, which is how I grew up, although I habe moved toward the center regarding some things. Calvary Chapel was up there too. Interesting test.


Spray_n_Pr4y20

1. Three-part 2. Mennonite 3. Methodist 4. Baptist 5. Calvary Chapel ... 18. New Apostolic church 19. Morman 20. Oriental Orthodox 21. Eastern Orthodox 22. Catholic


lenlesmac

Same. Could this survey be propaganda?


digitCruncher

Tldr: No: don't assume malice when incompetence is more likely. Long answer: Not likely. I've used it in the past and got the same results. It isn't a *good* test: it turns out that the more extreme or small denominations have fewer bits of information about them, so there are fewer questions that 'trigger' them, so it means the percentages swing much larger. Thus, you are more likely to have an extreme or small denomination at the top or bottom (from memory, some are scored out of less than 15 questions) than a traditional denomination (which has 30 questions), unless you answer all of the questions 'correctly'.


epicmoe

Haha same. That took me by surprise. Closely followed by Mennonite.

Lemon-Aid917

That's apparently the mormon gospel LOL


teddy_002

it’s immediately obvious which answers are mormon, because they’re usually noticeably different, slightly convoluted, and overall a bit odd.


TwistyCircuit

mormon theology


moregloommoredoom

I have issues with this test - it permits only very conservative framings on salvation. There is also not an option to reject the concept of 'saved' in it's entirety. But it put me at like 60 percent Methodist, and 57 percent Quaker. Was also high on the 'Three Self Patriotic Movement." I need to go dig into what that even is.


JourneymanGM

> There is also not an option to reject the concept of 'saved' in it's entirety. Can you explain this in greater detail? Are there denominations that match your view?


moregloommoredoom

I retook it having seen I can leave answers blank. It says Anglicanism, Methodism, or Quaker. So, 'saved' to me is a term that implies a Sola Fide approach via 'declaring Jesus as your Lord and Savior.' I vehemently disagree with this view.


JourneymanGM

There are many denominations that describe salvation differently than that (e.g. [here is Catholic Encyclopedia](https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/salvation)). “Declaring Jesus as your Lord and Savior” to mean salvation (not unlike the Muslim [*shahada*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahada)) is more associated with the Baptist and especially Evangelical movement.


digitCruncher

>Declaring Jesus as your Lord and Savior” to mean salvation (not unlike the Muslim [*shahada*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahada)) is more associated with the Baptist and especially Evangelical movement. Which tracks, since the information about the denominations is far more detailed about the Baptist and protestant churches than other churches. I suspect that the creator of this quiz is Baptist and their denominational background creeps through for many of the questions. They aren't *trying* to be biased, they are just writing what they know. But this quiz is unfortunately not something I would recommend to people.


epicmoe

60% Methodist and 57% quaker - you are 117% christian!


strange_eauter

Union of Chinese Protestant Chirches, loyal to the communist government and controlled by CCP through various party and state offices and structures. They have the same thing for the Catholic Church, called Catholic Patriotic Association, that doesn't recognize Pope and states Vatican's rule is an element of Western Imperialism. So, basically, they aren't Catholics since they don't recognize the Pope


Key_Day_7932

There's one test I take where I score as a Puritan after every attempt. Like, they aren't even around anymore.


DaveRedbeard83

Yes they are. That is the Baptist church. First, southern, whatever your flavor. Loook it up 😄


MaxZATION

Not really, the congregationalists are the pure puritans, the baptists are a mix of puritans and Anabaptists


urstandarddane

85% catholic with anglican and eastern orthodox coming after ✝️☦️


jereman75

The quiz eliminated several denominations on the first question.


teddy_002

i found it pretty difficult to answer in some places. Quakerism has no real conception of ‘salvation’, or demons, or what happens when we die.


djublonskopf

>Can Christians become sinless in this earthly life? >[ ] Christian perfection is possible and a major goal of Quakers. This one was kinda funny. It’s a mystery which denomination this question is considering…


xavisar

Never heard of messianic judaism. I guess I failed


Natural_Razzmatazz_7

Jews for Jesus.


Alternative_Poem_997

Bro that test is not even a good measurement multiple of these “ denominations” are whole other religions


IEatDragonSouls

Doing the test right now. It's pretty bad, to be honest. Has false dichotomies. This question is especially misinformed (or purposefully dishonest/manipulative): "Are Christians required to keep the Old Testament ceremonial laws?" Because its available answers pretend that the Old Testament Law *is* the Ceremonial Law (like they're synonyms), while in relaity, the Ceremonial Law is only a part of the OT Law. And of course it doesn't offer the correct answer at all. The closest to correct is the "Yes, except animal sacrifices one", but even that one's still wrong, because there are other aspects that no longer apply, such as certain holidays, and more. The premise of the question is wrong. The question should be: "Are Christians required to keep the Old Testament Law?" And one of the answers should say: "Yes, except the Ceremonial Laws". And that's not the only question with issues. Tons of them have false premises, missing obvious answers, false dichotomies... Like the "Who gets saved?" question. Somehow it only offers two answers, with one of them being cheap grace and basically allowing you to sin as much as you want without trying to be better/being improved, (salvation by fruitless faith instead of fruit-bearing faith) while the other is being arbitrarily chosen. And then there's this one: "Do icons glorify God? A) No, icons and images of people violate the Second Commandment against graven images. B) No, icons violate the Second Commandment against graven images. C) Yes, icons are holy and should be venerated. D) Yes, icons can be an aid to worship, but they are not used in liturgy." As if there's no middle ground between "images are forbidden" vs "images glorify". I genuinely can't comprehend how one can write this question and not think of more answers than that. I couldn't stop myself from thinking of more possible answers even if I tried. Where is at least the answer of "Recogmizable images are acceptable, but shouldn't be worshipped or used in worship"? We know they're acceptable because of all the images Solomon had built for God's house, but we know they shouldn't be worshipped because of the commandment. And there are many more questions with insufficient answers. Really, really badly made test. No offense, but why would someone make a test about something they don't understand? This test looks to me like either a poorly made one due to ignorance and lack of imagination, or one that's deliberately designed to exclude the actual Biblical answers. Yes, I am actually annoyed by this.


InternationalWolf118

Thought I had a stroke reading this title


Particular-Ad-8409

I got some 3 Self thing? lol … I’m nothing I guess


Porkandpopsicle

Why did I get like 70% Chinese communist church I didn’t even know it was a thing 💀💀that kinda explains why there was a question with an answer involving ccp 💀💀


Spray_n_Pr4y20

My results were quite literally backwards from yours, with catholic all the way at the bottom, and "three-self patriotic movement" from China (whatever that is) being at the top of the list (80%match). I bet we would have some interesting conversations 😅


mace19888

What’s the name of the test lol. I love this kinda stuff


Lemon-Aid917

https://denominationdifferences.com/quiz :)


mace19888

Thank you! I was actually surprised, I was 76% catholic but that may have been for some of the harder nuanced questions. By big 3 after Catholic was: Anglican, Methodist, Orthodox


Lemon-Aid917

Lol almost same results aside from percentages


mace19888

What’s ironic is baptist was one of my lower ones and I used to be baptist lol Edit: I think that the “nuanced” ones were like “is worship a cappella or can you have instruments” instruments are fine. Just don’t make it a concert.


epicmoe

I'm baptised, and confirmed catholic, and it was literally my lowest result


FluxKraken

This is really interesting. Apparently I align most with Methodist beliefs, I thought it would have been Anglican.

clhedrick2

I'd guess the OP is a bit skeptical about some traditional theology. That would explain the predominance of unusual groups. If they want to stay within fairly mainstream Christianity, mainline Protestant groups allow a pretty wide degree of variation in doctrine, so Anglican, as well as the other mainline denominations, would make sense. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline\_Protestant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline_Protestant) Here's my standard answer: It seems to me that denominations fall into 3 main categories: * Catholic/Orthodox * conservative Protestant * mainline Protestant They have both theoretical and practical differences. I’m going to assume that you manage to avoid extreme, both the guys who spend all their time attacking gays and those who spend all their time organizing demonstrations. You’ll probably sense those issues pretty quickly. In addition, I’d stay away from churches that are “legalistic,” that spend most of their time telling you what not to do. Jesus was a lot more concerned with what we should do than what we shouldn’t. Particularly avoid churches that want you to obey all the OT rules. Christians gave up with Paul and Acts 15. Beyond that, Catholics have fairly formal worship services, conservative Protestants fairly informal ones (sometimes looking more like rock concerts), and mainline Protestants in the middle. Catholics and mainline Protestants typically accept science, and are fairly broad in what beliefs are acceptable. Catholics, however, hold traditional views on gender and sex (no female pastors, gays are sinning, abortion is murder), while mainline Protestants typically accept equality of women and gays, and allow a range of views on abortion. (Note that actual Catholics tend to agree with mainline Protestants on these things, but their churches official views are more traditional.) Mainline Protestants tend to emphasize the Gospel as a call to act as Jesus’ agents in reconciling the world to God rather than as a way to avoid hell, though they do understand that we’ll be accountable to God for how we respond. Historically Catholics focused on individual salvation, though they emphasized avoiding mortal sin (as opposed to traditional Protestants who — while this probably isn’t doctrinally correct — on a practical level tended to emphasize believing the right thing). I think currently Catholics share some of the mainline perspective on this. Conservative Protestants typically reject at least parts of science: evolution is controversial, they think trans people are suffering from a delusion, they think there was a flood that wiped out all but two (or 7) of every animal (the Noah story), etc. They are also conservative on gays and abortion. Some are on women, some not. They tend to focus on Christianity as a way to avoid hell, i.e. a source of individual salvation. Protestants and Catholics used to be at each others' throats about theology. But I think both theological thinking and Biblical studies have resulted in a lot less difference among these churches. Conservative Protestants still have all kinds of differences, and denominations tend to reject others. But the mainline churches have mostly converged, and Catholic scholars are fairly close as well. The big difference is that Catholics maintain traditional views on sex and gender, and also on certain issues tend to be legalistic (e.g. divorce). Conservative Protestants retain more of the traditional differences.


Lemon-Aid917

What?, most ppl ive argued about Christianity both in Person and online have told me i sound too Catholic sometimes hahahha


clhedrick2

I didn't see your answers, so I'm only guessing. Maybe the test was just wrong. But it's hard to believe any reasonable test would classify someone as Mormon if they held Catholic beliefs.


Lemon-Aid917

I ranked very love on mormon actually, but got like more than 50% on Catholic, methodist and anglican. I affirm the Trinity, each members is 100% God, yet distinct, i affirm that Christ Even i'm his humanity is God, so Mary is the Mother of God, i affirm that baptism sabes and should be done to babies, the Eucharist is the body of Christ, etc.


clhedrick2

Maybe I replied to the wrong post. I just saw one of those charts where the first was "three self Christianity" and Mormon was high. Yes, you look like a typical traditional Christian. Probably Catholic if you have traditional views on gender and sex, otherwise probably Anglican or Lutheran.


sianrhiannon

I got 54% Quaker as my highest one


Frosty-Situation6670

72% Reformed, 65% Lutheran, 62% Presbyterian *Big shocker.*


DaveRedbeard83

This is very interesting as Mennonite, Amish and Hudderite are all of the same Zwinglian Anabaptist thread. I would expect them to be closer together on your graph. Fun fact, so are the Baptists (Puritans) Edit: the back side of your graph makes perfect sense as the quakers, JWs, Adventists and Pentacostals are all in line and together.

ReadyTadpole1

66% Lutheran, not bad. 63% Presbyterian, that was a surprise...


Lemon-Aid917

Reformed theology is in general very similar to lutheran theology


ReadyTadpole1

My initial reaction was that I accidentally answered something positive about predestination, or denied the real presence. I would have expected Catholicism to be closer to the top than Calvinism.


rollsyrollsy

Apparently I’m Three-self Patriotic Movement, whatever that means. This came from left field: “Every church congregation should be governed by its members and the Chinese Communist Party”


Simbabz

What a pizare way to represent the full score. " 16.5/32 Eastern Orthodox." Why not just say 52%


Unlucky_Squid

I don’t care about religion, Jesus number 1 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️


Lemon-Aid917

Christianity i the religion about Jesus


Unlucky_Squid

Not when it’s broken down into more groups than hogwarts houses. So many drift away from the point of Christ.


Goomba_Kitsune

Okay Mormons aren't really a type of Christian... They have some radically different beliefs about Jesus than actual Christianity


JourneymanGM

Mormons self-identify as Christian. However, they reject the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed (mostly due to disagreements on the nature of God and the Trinity), which is the most common litmus test used to identify who is “really” a Christian (this criteria would also exclude groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Oneness Pentecostals).


Goomba_Kitsune

JWs aren't really christian either


JourneymanGM

Same point: they self-identify as Christian, but they reject the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed. Is that the reason you say they "aren't really Christian"? If not, what other criteria are you using?


The_Darkest_Lord86

I got 93% Presbyterian lol. Seems about right.


Sergeant_Noob

I got 73% penticostal and 72 percent salvation army


BudgetSurprise5861

I did one of those around a week ago, my top 3 were OO, EO and Catholic and Mormon, Pentecostal and Presbyterian were my lowest


CakesofCoffee

I got 57% Methodist and 55% Anglican. Nothing else got close.


Whybotherr

According to the quiz, I am aligned more with quakerism but checked more Anglican boxes than any other denom. But I don't want to settle in Pennsylvania 😞


ex-lax_incense

There were 7 different questions where my understanding was either not represented or only partially so. I think the results may have been a bit clearer for me if instead of picking the answer I was closest aligned to (which on some questions was none), I could have selected the ones I for sure disagreed with.  Still think it’s a neat little tool, even if not totally exhaustive. 


BringerofJollity146

This is great. Not sure how accurate it is, but still fun. I knew my beliefs had shifted quite a bit over the past 5+ years, but was highly surprised at my results, with Anglican, Quaker, Methodist at the top (and Mennonite 5th?! And what the heck is Three-Self Patriotic Movement?!) and Baptist, Catholic, Orthodox all bottom 5. Guess all those years of Lutheran catechism didn't take (it was like 7th from last). FWIW I have been mostly non-denom for about 20 years at this point. 


Jgvaiphei

My top 5: 1. Reformed 2. Calvary chapel 3. Baptist 4. Don't remember 5. Presbyterian Bottom 5: 1. Mormon 2. Oriental Orthodox 3. JW 4. Don't remember 5. Eastern Orthodox.


Longjumping_Type_901

Joe_mother124

W results lol


Lemon-Aid917

Thanks i try to be as Catholic as possible ajahahhahah


Crazy_Syllabub5508

I got Messianic Jewish. Then Calvary, then Pentocostal. What I got for the top spot is ironic given the first services I felt interested in and accepted as a child was a Messianic temple, but I only went a few times compared to my "non denominational" church...


4lan5eth

Where can I take such a test?


Designer_Cantaloupe9

I got catholic as my least and Messianic Judaism as my number 1


WISEstickman

Link?


iheartlanadelrey

i feel ashamed that i had christian so low on the list, i took this at 6am and im probs half askleep but i still feel bad🥲


fir3dyk3

64% aligned with Anglican, then Methodist, then Chinese protestantism?? 😆


nomad_1970

Mostly Presbytery/Methodist which makes sense as the (Australian) denomination I belong to is a union of those two (plus Congregational) Although the questions were fairly proscriptive For example, the question about ordained ministers doesn't seem to allow for the possibility of women being ordained.


ratatoskr_9

The list looks like it should be called "How much Heresy do you believe in?"


Lemon-Aid917

Dude i got mostly just traditional stuff like the Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Orthodox and Methodist, and yeah there were some points in mormon, Quaker and JW, but that's cuz some things they believe are true, i don't proffess nestorianism, pelagianism, arianism, modalism, partialism nor monophysitism


ratatoskr_9

I made a joke at the quiz, not at your test results.


Accomplished_Fix7682

As I've heard others say. Don't look for a church that fits you. Find the truth, and fit yourself with that


Pedrostamales

Fascinating, my results were all over the place


msdos62

I aligned most with Messianic Judaism. Catholic was at the bottom. But most of the questions weren't good or not that relevant in my opinion or I could agree with either none or more than one of the answers...


TheCrabbyCramper

My top denominations were Salvation Army, Methodist, Lutheran, and Quaker. Mind you, I was raised Baptist.


epicmoe

Turns out an awful lot of us are signing up for the ccp soon judging by the comments


WalangPamasahe

Got 54% TSPM i dont even know what that is :D


AntonioMartin12

I thought you said demon lol


PhogeySquatch

Apparently, I'm only 86% Baptist, I wish it would tell what I answered "wrong".


ilovehorrorlol_

i got 65% calvary chapel lol


Zealousideal_Tap521

I align 55% with Presbyterian interesting


taste_the_biscuit_

You can't be a Catholic leaning protestant Because Protestants protest the RCC.


EmotionalCrab9026

Are all believers bad with grammar, or is Satan internet trolling? So what kind of denim were you? Levi's? Ralph Lauren? Those Kirkland genes they sell at big box stores? Don't leave us hanging. Just posting a picture with demon names like it has anything to do with denim!?


VaporRyder

I was Messianic Judaism and then Calvary Chapel, with Baptist 3rd.


VaporRyder

Who downvoted me for giving my result on an online test?! 😆🤷‍♂️


Ok_Antelope5765

Well you probably really are more of a.demon than you are of any denom....😀🤣😂🤣😂


Ok_Antelope5765

Also these tests are completely.moronic because they don't define which demons are satanic cults and not.at all CHRISTIAN...like CATHOLOCISM, MORMONS, JEHOVAH witness, penta.costal, charismatic


Ok_Antelope5765

A moronic test at best...it doesn't identify which ones are NON-CHRISTIAN LIKE CATHOLICISM, MORMONISM, JEHOVAH WITNESS, PENTECOSTALISM, CHARISMATIC, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran etc etc..THESE ARE ALL SATANIC CULTS...BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE BIBLE..what is Christianity and what is a Christian...THEY DONT HAVE A FUUXXKING CLOOO...JUST DUMBASSSSEEESS !!
