Spiritual Temperature Test

I was reading my online devotion this morning and it was about our spiritual temperature. The verse was from Rev. 3:15, 16. How God was so appalled by the Laodician church because they had become lukewarm, ineffective. God would rather us be hot or cold instead of lukewarm, so much so that He said, "I am about to spit you out of mouth". Reading this made me think how one of my biggest fears is disappointing God. Thankfully there was a very interesting "spiritual temperature" quiz at the end the devotion and I've shared it with you all:

I was pretty satisfied with my results but encouraged to do more! Hope you find it as useful as I did!
