| "I wrote that engagement statement - I couldn’t imagine a world without WELS." |
The WELS Engagement Survey is another sign that the wheels are falling off.
WELS Pastor "Father" Steve Spencer used to yell, "The only way to fix WELS is to tear it down completely."
They have the right people in power to do that. The correct frame of mind in their sect is being hyper-critical about everyone else (except ELCA) and hyper-sensitive about anything in WELS.
The simple truth is that WELS is the corrupt tree that brings forth evil fruit. Every evil tree is chopped down. Matthew 7:15ff.
WELS does not teach faith in Christ, but the exact opposite. They boast of the entire world - back to Adam - being absolved of sin. Their dogma is a fruitcake of dried up heresies, but they are focused like etymologist - magnifying glass in hand - on anyone suggesting that Justification by Faith is the Chief Article of Christianity.
Schroeder, with a B.A. and M.Div. from WELS, has claimed WELS was born orthodox Lutheran and has always been. Instead of purging the leaven of Pietism, they sought it out and called it "spoiling the Egyptians." They even stole their self-puffery from someone else - one of the pets adored by Fuller Seminary, George Barna, who stole it from Augustine.
