The examination
Ten questions, one from each field of doctrine, drawn from a bank of thirty.
Fields
Each answer
Your position; a defense of at least 150 words; three or more passages; and the
strongest passage against you, with your reading of it.
Time
About two hours. Untimed, and saved on this device as you write.
Permitted
The Bible. No commentaries, colleagues, or software that writes for you.
You have an examination in progress on this device.
The standard
One canon, read on its own terms. The ledger takes no denomination’s side. It asks
whether a church’s teaching can be found in Scripture, and whether it holds up there.
§1Three marks of an answer
Cited
Every passage named must exist in the sixty-six books. A book outside them, or a
chapter that isn’t there, is flagged on the record.
Tested
Every answer names the strongest passage against itself and shows how the pastor
reads it. A conviction that never meets its hardest text is not yet on record.
Weighed
Every answer says how much the doctrine matters: essential to the gospel, shaping
the church, or room for conscience. Readers see where a church draws its lines.
§2What the ledger leaves to you
No answer is scored against a creed, a confession, or a tradition, and no pastor’s
words are edited. The record stands beside Scripture. You weigh one against the other.
