welcome!
I am Mike Noakes. (about me)My Bio... thus farMy Myspace My Wishlist Buy my books on Half.Com! (thoughts)"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."

Why, I believe that salvation has come to your house...
Hey that is what you said to me when I took the exam... *bemoans greatly at this point* You see I have the insight scoop on this salvation thing. You just got to remember God is that Great vending machine in the sky. Put in the right stuff and pull the right triggers and !BAM! you get whatcha you want. Its all about doing the right motions, having enough faith, and saying Hookus Pookus a few thousand times. So ok I am like so totally willing to now sell for the benefit of the Noakes memorial fund the fail proof plan how to succesfully pull the right triggers to get salvation from the Great Vending Machine in the sky. No really. And included in the package is how to receive a free BMW by faith. Wow its just that easy.
Aaaahh, my boy. You are even more enlightened than you know. Congratulations! :)
Those silly links don't work. Now I'll never know what to label myself! All is lost.

So even though "emergent" and RC were both 71%, you are RC. I like how it rounds up.
There wasa tie-breaker:
Choose whichever of the two you feel most strongly about:
1) Older churches do not connect well with younger generations.
2) Infant baptism is very important to the life of a church.
I went with 2.
:P
