Church and Change - Cannot Count Either

4 (APA violation, should be Four) congregations out of 1200+ in WELS. Yes, this is certainly evidence of a strong CG movement...

GJ - We all knew they could not spell at Church and Change. Even the simplest rules are violated, such as spelling a man's name differently on two different lines (Gunn and Gun). And they do not even notice!

But this? Rev. Mouse has combined poor counting skills with his normal flair for logical fallacies. Relax Ichabodians, these CG guys trained me for a career in logic. I make more teaching critical thinking than they can imagine.

The exact number of stealth congregations listed so far is not the foundational argument. The stealth congregations and institutions named are a symptom of the problem of false doctrine, Deformed doctrine (on the lower end of the devolutionary scale). I can respect an honest Calvinist or Arminian, but the Fooler/Willow Crick boys are basement level, sub-prime, discounted Deformed.

Rev. Mouse conceded the presence of stealth congregations in WELS. (They are also in rock-ribbed Missouri.) His numbers fail him because Kuske's Pilgrim flopped and Mueller's CrossRoads went Evangelical Covenant. Still, I think the stealth congregation in South Lyons should be counted because Church and Change pastors copy their doctrinal statements from CrossRoads.

Pilgrim was attempted by Kuske and Stolzenburg, and WELS still pressed on for more experiments in aping the Deformed.

The name Lutheran has been abused long enough. I think Church of the Augsburg Confession is far better, although I am not ashamed to call myself a Lutheran, even a Luther-man.
