ESFP

I am an Extrovert (56%), Sensing (12%), Feeling (38%), and Percieving (22%) person. An extrovert is someone whos energy and personality is mainly fuled by the external. I agree with this because i enjoy being around people and i usually tend to feed of them and their energy quite a bit. I tend to let others moods dictate mine. A sensing person is one who believes mainly in the information presented or recieved. I would also agree with this because I tend to believe what others tell me even if it seems contradictary to what i believe. The only thing i do not waver in would be my faith in Jesus Christ no matter what facts people present to me. Thirdly i am one who makes decisions based on feeling according to the survey. I agree to an extent because many times i have made decisions based of feeling or what i have heard and I end up regreting my decision. Other times i tend to not make the smart decision because i am to worried about the result and so i make my decision based of logic. Lastly, the survey states I am percieving which means i tend to improvise and seek an alternative solution. Many times I would agree with this assesment of me because i tend to not like the options given to me and try to improvise for a different outcome because my lack of satisfaction with the alternative. Based on my personality i took an entrepreneur test that stated I would be good as an Analyst. This type of career usually centers around jobs such as Tax Specialists, Accountants, Computer consultants, Translators, and Web Programmers. None of these jobs seem to fit the career I had in mind for my life mainly because I tend to see myself in more of a legal enviornment working as a lawyer. Although that is where i see myself in my future i am open to anything as long as I feel God is leading me to it.

Middle Ground Ideals

The argument over predestination and free will and its relevance to the Christian faith has been heightened over the last few decades. John Calvin the founder and strong advocate of predestination, created strong ideals, which center around the idea that Christ has already chosen those who will join him in eternity; these chosen are referred to as “The Elect”. Advocates of free will view life as a series of paths given to man who in turn must choose the path to take. They also believe that a divine being or events of the past do not determine the choices they make, but rather that God allows events to take place, which are dictated by ones ideals and beliefs.

As Christians debate and discuss the topic they begin to create their own ideals and beliefs in turn creating a separation among the church. This has resulted in many different denominations within the Christian church. Many question if the subject is even worth all the distress caused by these two differing opinions. Questions start to arise as you take an in-depth look at both perspectives. For example if man is Predestined what is the point of carrying out the “Great Commission” given to believers in the book of Matthew? In addition, if man has complete free will, is God all knowing and does he really have a “sovereign will” for mankind? In reality, the question that many Christians wonder is if it is possible for there to be a middle ground or borderline between predestination and free will?
