Hi everyone-<br><br>on our new FACEUP website (http://foothillsfaceup.org) we will soon be adding a "testing" center. We'd like to post questions there that inform in a non-threatening way about Presbyterian doctrine, what salvation is, our history, etc., both to believers and unbelievers.<br><br>I've personally written a few questions, like "Who is known as the father of modern Presbyterianism?".... "The first Presbytery in the American colonies was organized 1705 in......" .... "Does the authority in Presbyterian churches reside in the congregation?" .... "The name Presbyterian comes from the Greek word presbuteros, meaning....." .... "Why do Presbyterians believe the Bible is authoritative?" ... etc.<br><br>I need help finding other appropriate and challenging questions to pose. What do you think are questions that people could try to answer that help them understand Presbyterianism/Reformed doctrine/our disagreements with Roman Catholic doctrine/Arminianism/Worship styles/the gifts of the Holy Spirit, etc?<br><br>As I looked over the articles on The Highway I got some ideas, but I'd appreciate your input!<br><br>If you have some ideas please post them here. If you can cite scriptures to back your answers include them, too, because we want the "test" to be educational. When people get a "wrong" answer we want to give them good info about why we believe a certain other way.<br><br>Here's a full example:<br><br>Question: "The lowest governing body in a Presbyterian church is....."<br>Possible answers: The Deacons / The Session / The Book of Order / The Pastor <br><br>If a person chooses the right answer they'll be given this statement: "You got it! The Deacons are officers but have no governing authority. The Book of Order prescribes how authority is to be used. It is the Session that governs the total life, work and worship of the local congregation and sends elected commissioners to Presbytery."<br><br>If they choose a different answer than the Session they'll get the following: "The Deacons are officers but have no governing authority. The Book of Order prescribes how authority is to be used. It is the Session that governs the total life, work and worship of the local congregation and sends elected commissioners to Presbytery."<br><br>I really do appreciate your input..... and I'll certainly let you all know when the "test" is posted on our site.<br><br>Many thanks!<br>Cecil Rigby<br>FACEUP webmaster<br><br>
