Worth a Featured Post - Michigan Lutheran - On SpenerQuest Blasphemy

Or - consider this verse.
The wrath of God does not abide on a justified person,
who is declared forgiven.


Of all the words about words in the above thread, there is one set that is remarkable.

From Franz Linden:  "They like to say that they do not teach that their faith is in their faith, but Rydecki betrayed his denial when asked what a person is to believe. He said, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved." If that is what a person is to believe to be justified, it is exactly the same thing as saying faith must believe in itself." 

How is it that a supposed Lutheran repeats the Lord's words and then denies they are to be believed?   To say belief in the Gospel is faith in faith is incomprehensible if it isn't blasphemy.
