| Hunnius found only justification by faith in 70 years of Lutheran doctrinal writing. But Boisclair knows better. |

As always the tactic here is to accuse the opposition of the same sins that one commits. To accuse us who teach the biblical doctrine of Objective Justification (2 Cor. 5:18-21) with Synergism as this posting implies is the very false doctrine of those who deny Objective Justification. Faith becomes a work that completes Christ's perfect righteousness. Also, the denial of the doctrine of Objective Justification leads one to the Limited Atonement of the Calvinists. The vilifying of those who teach Objective Justification simply tries to undercut their biblical arguments by name calling. That is not the only tactic used. The others are guilt by association as well as setting up straw men. The denial of Objective Justification is heresy and apostasy pure and simple.

The problem with the doctrine that is pushed here is that it is purely and simply a confusion of Justification and Sanctification. Justification does not happen within man but outside man while sanctification happens within man. This website equates regeneration with Justification, which is a confusion of Justification and Sanctification. The lie is that we who believe, teach, and confess Objective Justification deny justification by faith, or more precisely justification by grace through faith. When we are accused of that, a straw man has been set up, which is an egregious error of logic.

This website is not alone. Apparently the Confessions confuse Justification and Sanctification as well: "However, since the word regeneratio, regeneration, is sometimes employed for the word iustificatio, justification, it is necessary that this word be properly explained, in order that the renewal which follows justification of faith may not be confounded with the justification of faith, but that they may be properly distinguished from one another. For, in the first place, the word regeneratio, that is, regeneration, is used so as to comprise at the same time the forgiveness of sins for Christ's sake alone, and the succeeding renewal which the Holy Ghost works in those who are justified by faith. Then, again, it is [sometimes] used pro remissione peccatorum et adoptione in filios Dei, that is, so as to mean only the remission of sins, and that we are adopted as sons of God. And in this latter sense the word is much and often used in the Apology, where it is written: Iustificatio est regeneratio, that is, Justification before God is regeneration." (FCSD III:18,19 Conc. Trigl. p921)
