Existential Angst

Brother Maynard made me do it. He digitally brain-washed me into taking one of these online quizes -- for people who don't believe our personalities are determined by the stars, we sure do find these quizzes irresistable.

Anyway, herein lies the reason for my existential angst:

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. Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 79% Emergent/Postmodern 75% Charismatic/Pentecostal 68% Neo orthodox 68% Reformed Evangelical 50% Roman Catholic 50% Fundamentalist 46% Classical Liberal 43% Modern Liberal 14% What's your theological worldview?(created with QuizFarm.com)

See what I mean? I only read Wesley's "A Plain Account Of Christian Perfection" for the first time a few weeks ago; I don't think I've ever even met a Wesleyan face-to-face (unless Anabaptists count as Wesleyans... I know lots of Mennonites; I'm married to one); I was raised in a Dutch Reformed town where John Calvin's name is spoken with genuflective breathlessness; and how do you have charismatic and neo-orthodox score a tie? Or Reformed and Roman Catholic? The emergent/postmodern and charismatic/pentecostal makes sense, but...

You see why I have angst? It's almost as discombobulating as when I, believing myself all these years to be Gen X, first discovered that I was, in reality, a part of Generation Jones.

Y'all excuse me while I go drink some Tim Horton's coffee and ponder the deep meaning and implications of all this.
