I agree whole-heartedly that sound doctrine is revealed by the Holy Spirit through the word, and not deduced by logic. Either one of us grossly misreads scripture or you misunderstand the teaching of objective justification. No pastor or teacher I have ever learned from has taught that we are justified without believing. What is taught is that Christ died once for all and that when an individual comes to saving faith he possesses the security of salvation. Faith does not justify a believer, but faith is the means through which Christ's righteousness is attributed to him in the eyes of God. Faith is the organ which receives the benefits of Christ's sacrifice. Faith in and of itself does nothing. The object of my faith, namely Christ, does everything.

GJ - The readership cannot depend on what an anonymous writer claims. I have to rely on the published false doctrine of WELS, Missouri, the ELS, and the micro-sects. They all teach that the entire world has been justified, declared forgiven, without faith. That is the essence of Universal Objective Justification. The UOJ opinion--which is not Christian doctrine--is Enthusiasm, just like Receptionism and Church Growth.
Notice how the Walther Pietism wing has engaged in aggressive persecution by promoting UOJ, Church Growth, and Receptionism.
As Robert Preus.1 said in 1987 or so, UOJ is not the Atonement. Robert Preus.2 affirmed that there is no justification apart from faith, no forgiveness apart from faith.
People defend UOJ by immediately attacking faith. They should read the faith chapter, Romans 4, and its climax in Romans 5:1-2.
The purpose of John's Gospel is to create faith through the power of the Word.
KJV John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
The wrath of God remains on those who do not believe:
KJV John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

GJ- do you agree or disagree with anonymous? All you have stated is that you accuse based on "official" published documents of poorly-worded explanations of UOJ. What say ye to Anonoymous?

GJ - I have written a book, which makes UOJ and CG Stormtroopers foam at the mouth. And I put my name on it too. I do not have to sneak around posting anonymously. That says a lot about the UOJ-Shrinker crowd.
Stay tuned for the next books or articles on this topic.
