The Book of Concord is the standard for fellowship - why settle for anything else?Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05814862275876373547noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200254865004943280.post-90013657558827608642008-08-18T20:25:00.000-07:002008-08-18T20:31:03.672-07:00In my 36 years I have been ALC, ELCA, LCMS and now WELS. I have come to realize that a synod cannot define a Confessional Lutheran, because we are defined by the Lutheran Confessions. Somehow I hope to make the case that it is now time for Quia Confessional Lutherans to break down the walls of "Synod" and once again walk in fellowship - a fellowship that is not defined by presidents and polity, both things that are not clearly defined in scripture and in the confessions - but rather a fellowship that is based on a common acceptance of Scripture as God breathed and without error and subscription to the 1580 Book of Concord, quia subscription to it, as the basis for fellowship and common belief.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/200254865004943280-9001365755882760864?l=postsynodicallutheranism.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05814862275876373547noreply@blogger.com0
