Which Early Christian Heresy Are You?
Final Result:
Sabellianism
You are Sabellianism!

Sabellianism, named after the early third-century priest Sabellius, taught that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three distinct persons within the Godhead, but are merely modes through which the single indivisible God is manifested to humanity. Sabellius's teaching opposed the emerging Trinitarian consensus of the early church, and so his writings were attacked by leading theologians of the time, including Tertullian and Hippolytus of Rome. Sabellius himself was excommunicated by Pope Callistus I in 220, and the Athanasian Christological formula adopted by the council of Nicaea in 325 definively classified Sabellianism as a heresy.

Sabellianism can also be referred to as "modalism" (since it teaches that the persons of the Trinity are modes of being rather than separate persons) or "Patripassianism" (since it implies that the Father, and not only the Son, experienced suffering on the cross).

Sabellianism, more like Savaellianism

I was correct though, wasn't I?

Btw, I was:

Final Result:
Pelagianism

You are Pelagianism!

Named after its most famous proponent, the British monk Pelagius, Pelagianism taught that human nature is not compromised by original sin and that the will is therefore capable of choosing to follow the moral good without God's aid. Pelagius's fiercest opponent was St Augustine of Hippo, whose writings insisted upon the reality of original sin and the need for divine grace to perform any good works. Augustine's position won out over that of Pelagius, and Pelagianism was condemned as a heresy by the Council of Carthage in 418, a decision that was confirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431. Despite this apparent victory for Augustinianism, the precise relationship between grace and free will remained controversial, and a variety of "semi-Pelagian" positions were taught throughout the fifth and early sixth centuries.

It's clever.

You are Docetism!

Docetism (literally, "to seem-ism") is the belief that Christ only seemed to be human and that his physical body was an illusion. Because he did not possess a physical body, Jesus's death on the cross could not really have taken place, and his apparent suffering was also illusory. Another variety of docetism held that Jesus was a normal human being but that Christ was an immaterial spirit who entered his body at his baptism, gave him the power to perform supernatural acts, and then abandoned him prior to the crucifixion, perhaps by switching bodies with Simon of Cyrene. Docetist Christology was criticized by a number of early Christian theologians, and was definitively condemned by the Council of Nicaea.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You must have answered that since the physical world is an illusion, rival heresies don't exist (I loved that answer).

Also, quiz has been SAVAPPROVED!

I like lemons.

I have to admit that this one ranks right up there. I was either laughing going through the questions or scratching my head (and laughing)
I kept imagining (right before checking and answer) BK attempting to convince me what the only right answer to check was using his dishonest version of debating.
And I"M REALLY GLAD that I'm not the same as either of you two.

Final Result:
Monophysitism

You are Monophysitism!

Monophysitism (literally, "one-nature-ism") taught that Christ's human and divine natures were not distinct but dissolved together into a single hybrid nature; it is also known as "Eutychianism" after its most famous proponent, the fifth-century abbot Eutyches. Monophysite beliefs emerged as a reaction against the earlier heresy of Nestorian, which taught that Christ's divine and human natures remained wholly separate. Eutychian beliefs were condemned at the Council of Chalcedon in 451, which embraced a dyophysite position: Christ's human and divine natures, while remaining distinct, formed an inseparable and indivisible union within a single person and substance (Greek: "hypostasis"). The Chalcedonian belief in a "hypostatic union" of Christ's two natures is shared by Catholic, Orthodox and most Protestant churches, representing a consensus position that denies the extremes of both Monophysite and Nestorian Christology.

Although Monophysite beliefs were officially condemned at Chalcedon, the Monophysite controversy led to a schism which separated the so-called Oriental Orthodox churches from the remainder of Christendom, including the modern-day Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syriac, Malankara Syrian, and Armenian churches. While these churches reject the authority of the council of Chalcedon, they deny that their doctrine is formally heretical in the sense taught by Eutyches, and often strongly object to the characterization of their beliefs as "monophysite."

Montanism
You are Montanism!

Named after its founder, the second-century preacher Montanus, Montanism was a Christian movement which based its teachings upon special prophetic revelations granted to Montanus himself, along with his companions Prisca and Maximilla. Although the exact tenets taught by the three erstwhile prophets are unclear, Montanists were known for their strict disciplinary standards, which forbade remarriage after the death of a spouse and required strict fasting. Although Montanus's prophecies initially seemed to be compatible with mainstream Christian doctrine, Montanists eventually formed a separate sect which granted doctrinal authority to the writings of the three prophets. The most famous Montanist was Tertullian, a prominent African theologian, who became convinced in later life that the prophecies of Montanus were genuine; Montanists are therefore sometimes referred to in later writings as "Tertullianists."

[Imran Siddiqui]

Montanists always seemed like proto-Pentecostals to me (and no, I don't think Pentecostals are heretics).

Anyways, I took it again, and my heresy was BEN!!!
