Schleiermacher - Halle and UOJ
Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Fail-o-Blog Should Call Himself the Real Calvin":
So (W)ELS' chief UOJ theologian Siegbert W. Becker was channeling Schleiermacher when he wrote their confession of the false gospel of Universal Justification.
Becker - "But there are times when a Christian does not know that he has faith. And many people who think they have faith do not have it, and many that think they are not believers are believing children of God."

Becker's essay is ground zero for this false teaching in the (W)ELS. It's required reading for anyone who cares to know what the (W)ELS teaching concerning this doctrine including his determination that the Kokomo statements contained no false doctrine.
