Simpleman,
The WELS and LCMS plus the other mini-Synods are very peculiar - they are the only ones who believe that in Romans 4:25, all human beings have been already justified - note in the past tense, a finished event already.
When you swallow one false teaching, you do not only swallow one, you start to swallow the implications that go with that teaching which again are fasle doctrines themselves.
The reason why you feel as if you were missing something is because they have placed something in the passage that is not there. Remember the teaching in the Book of Revelations, cursed is everyone who adds something to the word of God.
If they added something then of course, you are missing something, but which one is faithful to God's word?
One of the false conclusions you get when you swallow UOJ is that you do not even know if you have faith - you become an ignoramus in many ways. Whereas Calvinism makes you look inside you, UOJ does not even want you to look anywhere not even the Word of God. UOJ wants you to teach you all else is irrelevant because you have already been justified by default. So you become indifferent to faith itself, yet it is the most precious thing that God holds in all the universe.
Here is the test.
To know if you have faith just ask the question - did Jesus die on the Cross for you? Yes or No. What sayeth Scripture? If you say yes, you have faith.

OK, I give up, what does the Groucho graphic have to do with this post?

GJ - When someone said the right word during the show, the contestant won some money. It was funny because it made no sense - like UOJ.
And I knew someone would ask.
