Ichabod -
Did you notice the prominent part on the "Truth in Midland" website which "justification" appears? Here, following is quoted from that web page:
>>>>>>>> Justification
The Bible and WELS Lutherans teach that God judged all sinners righteous in his sight when Jesus Christ died on the cross for us. God declared everyone free from the guilt and punishment owed for our sins. The sinner receives this free gift of forgiveness, not by doing good deeds, but only by faith. A person is justified when he or she believes in Christ and his redemptive work. It is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8,9; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Romans 3:22-24; Romans 3:28; Romans 4:5; Mark 16:16

I wonder if this congregation is busting at the seams for people to join. What a nice appealing teaching. It is "universal objective justification" on display with a dash mention of faith. It is not only contradictory, but also ambiguous.
I don't know about some, but this WELS profession to recognize "faith" seems about as empty as what I heard our White House occupier say about the 2nd Amendment. He actually said that he believes in the Second Amendment. But, I have to doubt his cheap words. His words don't line up with his actions..........
