Predigtamt Brings Up Outmoded Book of Concord

Melanchthon is obviously from another era, so his Augsburg Confession is considered obsolete and irrelevant, especially by the Schwaermer who publish FICL - Lutheran on the outside, Babtist on the inside.



Predigtamt has left a new comment on your post "Canon Law in WELS - Pretend Not To Be Naming Names...":

Teaser for the March 2011 issue of Forward in Christ:

"Biblical word pictures - Four words help us understand our Christian faith more clearly" by Mark Lenz

Except for the subtitle, there is no mention of faith, even and especially under the word "Justification." - Nothin'. Nada. Zilch.

Compare the FIC article to the official "Lutheran Voice" of Lutheranism, the Augsburg Confession:

"Also they teach that men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works, but are freely justified for Christ's sake, through faith, when they believe that they are received into favor, and that their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who, by His death, has made satisfaction for our sins. This faith God imputes for righteousness in His sight. Rom. 3 and 4." - Article IV
