The Big Five Apostates - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) - have been slurping the same ingredients for 50 years. They remind me of this childhood rhyme -
"And thus it was the brownie band came tumbling into slumberland."
The ingredients they utterly lack are:
- The preserved text of the Old Testament.
- The preserved text of the New Testament.
- The Biblical efficacy of the Word of God.
- Justification by Faith.
