Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Summary of Winter Vacation Meeting - Conference of...":
(W)ELS COP enjoyed their time in Puerto Rico while their churches struggle under the burden of Synod CEF induced debt. Their fellowship with the Puerto Rico ELCC and common membership in the CELC is cemented in their common confession of the false man-made gospel of Universal Objective Justification.
"If the sinner doesn’t hear that God has acquitted him, it will be of no benefit to him, and the Holy Spirit cannot create faith in his heart so that he accepts and comforts himself with the free forgiveness of God." Page 4
"But God does not forgive us because we believe. He does not forgive us if we believe. He has forgiven us long time ago when he raised his Son from the death, that is, he has forgiven us long before we began to believe." Page 7
"God has really declared all men righteous in Christ. God has really forgiven all sinners because Christ has paid the guilt of all." Page 8
As if channeling all of the dead RCC Antichrists, the CELC describes faith this way:
"Faith is like the empty hand of a beggar, which receives the gift that someone puts in it." Page 8
Confirming what we already knew, the CELC admits:
"It is correct that it is man himself who believes, and as such faith is a work, which is performed by man." Page 8

NIV2011 is the (W)ELS COP get out of jail free card. It perverts God's Word in order to finally establish their false gospel and save them from crushing guilt and shame that comes from their abuse of Christ's Church and Word.
