Come home to Rome - Purgatory awaits.
This is creepy. A regular email friend sent me this link, which involves an LCA church I used to pass when I walked to high school in Moline:
The website also mentions Trinity, which is the sister church of Salem, where I was confirmed. I heard a missionary at Salem who was part of J. W. Montgomery's book on Lutheran decline. Mrs. Ichabod and I were discussing Trinity today, because a NYC lawyer (once a member there) just sent a Season's Greetings card.
Not surprising to me is the way in which the ELCA is behaving toward dissenters.
I also wonder where all these dissenters were in 1987, when ELCA was formed with the worst possible combination of apostate theologians and leaders, except they got worse with the help of the quota system.

The Emergent Church is moving toward the Antichrist at breakneck speed, arms open wide and receiving help of the WELS and LCMS along the way.
Note the direct connection between the WELS C&C ministry shamans listed above and Rick Warren.
The following is from:

While discussing The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren in Part One of his two part expose The Purpose-Driven Life: An Evaluation Dr. Gary Gilley says:
[Warren] apparently believes practicing Roman Catholics are true believers, several times mentioning monks and nuns as Christian examples, and of course the obligatory reference to Mother Teresa (twice). This unqualified acceptance and promotion of Catholics brings into question Warren’s understanding of the gospel message itself.
If he believes that faithful Roman Catholics, who believe in a works-righteousness, are born-again Christians, what does he believe the gospel is? Do we receive the gift of salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus certain works and sacraments? This is no minor issue, especially in a book that never spells out the plan of salvation…
Well, make the time to see for yourself in Dr. Rod Rosenbladt Calls Rick Warren’s Man-Centered Theology “Roman Catholic” and “Bible Scholar” Rick Warren Reversing The Reformation. Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren, arguably the most recognized pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention, absolutely does take a position in direct contradiction the Protestant Reformers.
Regarding the long apostate Roman Catholic Church Warren wishes:
“Now I don’t agree with everything in everybody’s denomination, including my own. I don’t agree with everything that Catholics do or Pentecostals do, but what binds us together is so much stronger than what divides us,” he said. “I really do feel that these people are brothers and sisters in God’s family. I am looking to build bridges with the Orthodox Church, looking to build bridges with the Catholic Church,….” (Online source, emphasis mine)
As a former Roman Catholic whom God in His mercy delivered from that slavish system of works-righteousness, I say the really sad thing is, more and more pretending to be Protestant evangelicals actually agree with Rick Warren re. Rome.
