We define a word or phrase by its use, so this is what I have learned about what Confessional Lutheran means.
A Confessional Lutheran teaches against justification by faith, always on the attack, while saying he truly teaches justification by faith. In fact, there is a blog calling itself Confessional Lutheran, which does precisely that.
But the entire UOJ Hive calls itself Confessional Lutheran.
A Confessional Lutheran is a gay activist ELCA bishop, the first one to be openly gay, with the emphasis on openly.
A Confessional Lutheran in WELS is not only a UOJ, Church Growth, and Emergent Church fanatic, but also one who dismisses the Book of Concord as "boring and irrelevant."
A Confessional Lutheran Synod President, of the WELS persuasion, cannot stand up for a decent translation of the Bible, cannot identify Book of Concord study materials, and cannot detect felonies committed against children in the same building where he works.
A Confessional Lutheran Synod President, Missouri-flavored, fawns over their Pietistic sex cult usurper and forgets who the real founder of the LCMS was - Bishop Martin Stephan, STD. He gets elected based on his book, Dreams of My Father.
A Confessional Lutheran in the LCMS is one who joins Eastern Orthodoxy or the Church of Rome as a priest, soon after graduating from one of the great Confessional Lutheran seminaries of the LCMS.
A Confessional Lutheran pastor in WELS joins the Babtists, Pentecostals, or atheists after his graduation and anti-Lutheran parish work.
