The description of form_render says that this function is usually called
from within a theme.
http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/function/form_render


I believe that form_render requires a different structure of $form to
the example you have built and you should indeed use drupal_get_form();


I am tentatively assigning this to Documentation queue.

<?php
$form['test'] = array(
    '#type' => 'radios',
    '#title' => t('Test Radios'),
    '#options' => array(
        t('Test 1'),
        t('Test 2'),
        t('Test 3'),
    ),
);
form_render($form);
?>




Outputs


<div class="form-item">
 <label>Test Radios:</label>
</div>


Using "drupal_get_form()" functions correctly, but is not mentioned in
*any* of the Form API documentation, while form_render() is mentioned
numerous times.


One forum post mentions its correct use:
