How appalling that the little OJists from their little sects use pathetic little arguments, the straw man logical fallacy to confuse others.
In attacking their ill-defined opponents, they savage Luther - while calling themselves the best, greatest, and noblest Lutherans. For example, Jay Webber claims the Chief Article of Christianity is "synergism." So Luther is a synergist?
To elaborate, Webber argues that Justification by Faith is "incomplete."

Webber:
"What the objective justification of the world's Redeemer means is that there is a finished and complete gospel of justification and forgiveness in Christ, to be proclaimed and applied to individual human beings, not merely a potential justification or a potential forgiveness that must be completed by the act of faith."
That is what Luther, Melanchthon, Chemnitz, and St. Paul taught? - an incomplete Gospel, a potential justification! How foolish can this faction be and who bewitched them? To wear the mantle of Pure Lutheran while building their little straw men - that is sad.
When these people imagine they are cleverly defeating the traditional Lutherans raised on Gausewitz and the KJV Catechism, they are actually waking up OJ victims to the follies of a rationalistic Pietism. That beloved Objective Justification was brought over by a syphilitic leader - Martin Stephan - and repeated endlessly by his most devoted, most scheming follower - CFW Walther.
