The preacher in question is locked into a ritual practice for the altar call. He'd probably vociferously deny such a thing, but the huge social pressure between clergymen and other church leaders is enough to make them feel compelled to offer such a traditional evangelical altar call regardless of what the Scripture actually says.
There were ten questions, multiple choice, I answered what was closest. I regarded it as an amusing exercise rather than anything serious. When it comes to western theology, I tend towards reformed but, when it comes down to it what I have is what we classify as emphatically non-western.

So, given how non-rigorous the questioning was, it was pretty accurate then?

I've known a few Christians who really got into the denomination game. Not in the sense of church hopping, but being a collector, even curator, of denominations, and they would draw lots of barriers between themselves and people of other denominations. Barriers that really they only created in their heads. It's a weird way to try to gain a form of control of something really slippery.
