    I did pretty well. That means you made a good quiz. Ha!

  2. Steve says:

    Yeah, whatever, “Charlie”. :-P

    Yo Steve, I “still” am a dispensationalist. I was not formally introduced to Calvinsim until after College by RC Sproul himself. After many debates, I am again a proud semi-palagian, as Reformists put it. :) We should definitely talk, I’d like to hear from you!
