If you don’t leave church feeling convicted, was it even church??

[never-turn-to-the-darkside]

Well, it all depends. It depends on the listener. If the sinner who has stubbornly held onto his sin leaves without having been offended in the slightest, then odds are the whole council of God has not been preached. (Perhaps even nothing of God’s word). If however the sinner who is deeply ashamed of his sin and terrified of God’s wrath leaves without feeling convicted, perhaps it is because God’s word has been rightly preached and that he has been given the proper medicine of the Gospel. Proper preaching condemns those secure and comfortable in their sins and comforts those who are terrified and stricken.

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

conviction doesn’t mean condemnation. Conviction means you leave church like “dang, God is good. And I need to continue kicking my sin to the curb”

[never-turn-to-the-darkside]

Ok I thought of convicted in the more narrow sense of “guilty”.

I repent.

In my selfish pride, I’ve loathed the struggles You’ve sent me for my good, Lord. Since you’re a loving and all-powerful God, You easily could have given me a perfect body after any of the bajillion times I’ve begged for one if You thought it would be best for me. But it wouldn’t be. And when I’m being honest with myself, I know that. 

My struggle with gluttony has kept me humble and shown me that I can’t accomplish anything worthwhile on my own. It’s made me rely on You for strength. My less-than-ideal body has been a blessing in disguise as it has repeatedly protected me from falling into vanity. So why do I curse You for it? How dare I question the One who formed the seas, the sky, and the mountains? How dare I believe that I deserve every single minuscule thing I covet after? How dare I think that I know better than the God who gave me the ability to reason?

Keep me humble, Father. And forgive me for my wicked heart.

2 Corinthians 12:7b-10 “Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 

[never-turn-to-the-darkside]

Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. “

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

You are forgiven. You are God’s own child. Remember that. It is from this renewing of our minds and cleansing of our hearts that we fight the sinful flesh. We find our stay in Christ’s wounds. God forgives you and that is enough.

Hebrews 13:20-21

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

2. In that mood where you see something on your dash that you just so strongly disagree with that you have to say something but... no I need bed.

3. I could use some prayers. That’s the short version of saying everything isn’t perfect atm

4. I have a friend who has been living through her parents’ divorce and she could use your prayers.

5.Just pray for all the Pre-Seminary students who take Greek, they can use your prayers.

6. Jesus Died for your sins, don’t forget it. Even if you’re a believer you need to hear these words over and over again.

7. I’m going to bed now. This doesn’t help anyone, but ya know what? I’m tired so I don’t even...

Introduction to Luther’s Theology in the Heidelberg Disputation

Over the next few days, I will be posting what I consider to be an early work of Luther’s that is far more important than the 95 Theses posted October 31, 1517. On April 26, 1518 (499 years ago today), Luther had these 28 Theological theses up for debate in the City of Heidelberg. I will be posting the Latin Theses themselves, my translation, and thoughts on them in the following days.

The Reformation did not truly start with the 95 theses, rather I would argue it started here, since Luther would later comment that “at that time I lacked nothing but the proper distinction of Law and Gospel”. It his here we see Luther’s truly evangelical doctrine develop. It is here that we first see him argue salvation by Grace Alone and Faith Alone without any contribution of works.

Heidelberg is particularly important, because it is here that we see Luther depart from an old medieval theological axiom:

Facienti quod in se est Deus non denegat gratiam

Which means: To the one doing what is in himself, God does not deny grace.

The exact meaning of this axiom had long been up for debate among scholastic theologians. Luther makes a radical departure from it here, yet his departure is also true to the original meaning of the word radical (which comes from the Latin word radix, meaning root). Luther’s opposition to this axiom as well as the language he uses in these theses and their defense is derived from scripture. If you want to know the language Luther is working with, I would suggest reading Romans 1-3, 1 Corinthians 1-3, and Exodus 33. Luther makes strong reference to these texts.

Happy Easter! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

Let us rejoice and be glad this day, fellow Christians, for God stands triumphant. Our salvation is accomplished. Christ has conquered sin, death, and Satan. Their powers hold sway over us no longer. With those great words, “It is finished.” our debt has been paid. With the Resurrection of our Lord, this promise is secured. So let all hear this news: God has saved us by His grace. The strife is over. The battle is won, and Christ is victorious. Rejoice in this word. No one need fear. Do not let a timid conscience or despair seize you. The Gates of Heaven have been opened to all who will believe.

Hear this promise of our God and Savior:

 Your sins are forgiven. My death is yours, and so shall my life be yours. Your life is won. I hold your soul in my arms, and neither Satan, nor sin, nor death, nor hell shall rend us asunder. The sacrifice is complete. Now I,  who sought your salvation with my own blood and death, I reign over all things. Rest now and rejoice! 

All glory, honor, thanks, and praise be to the Lamb who was slain for us and for our salvation!

A Poem on the Cross: Two Kinds of Comfort by Andrew Preus

The world declares and gives its peace By granting order for the common good. Such virtue makes their joy increase When friends are bonded in a brotherhood. Yet while they have such comfort’s cheer The heart is hard; they cannot hear The peace, which Jesus Christ declares, Which frees the heart from sin and cares.

The mortals see their death advance. “Tis part of life, a necessary share. If it is fixed by fate and chance, Then why should we in anguish now despair?” So asks the world, which takes delight In what they understand by sight. Their god is nice, yet not involved In suff’ring, loss, and things unsolved.

Yet God our Father does not flee From sinners and the death they must endure. With death He cursed eternally, But sent His Son in flesh, so just and pure. He took our sin and bore the woe, As to His Father He would go. He rendered to His perfect throne His death for sinners to atone.

To God the Father Christ has gone. So hidden from our nature’s carnal sight, Through faith we find the morning dawn Of Jesus’ Word of pardon shining bright. So though the world denies its Lord And scorns His church with lie and sword, Though our own sins against us lure, Beneath such toil is comfort sure.

The precious cross by God is sent That through afflictions He might make us wise. So by His Word and Sacrament He strengthens faith while still the body dies. As light in darkness bright has shown So is the Spirit’s sigh and groan. In anguish is our comfort found, Since to His death, Christ’s peace is bound.

Amen.

On Baptism and Faith: Quoted from Bo Giertz’s novel: The Hammer of God

“Faith does not dwell in our brain or in our thoughts. Faith is not a work which we accomplish; it is not a gift that we give to God. Being made righteous by faith does not imply that faith is some kind of payment that will serve as well as our almsgiving and good works. Is it not written that the kingdom of God belongs to those who are poor in spirit? Faith is, then, a poverty of spirit, a hunger and thirst, a poor, empty heart opening toward God so that He can put His grace into it. When God bestows his grace upon us, we are born anew and become partakers of new life.”

“Why do little children more easily enter the kingdom of God than we grown-ups?... When we grow older it becomes more difficult... we are stubborn and evasive and shut up our hearts by intentional sins. Not until the heart is opened in conversion have we become as little children - and then we can enter again into the kingdom.”

“If faith means to receive God’s grace in our hearts, and if the child’s heart is always open toward God, it surely follows that the child is able to believe. It can, then, certainly receive grace. If, however, faith resided in our heads, in our thinking and understanding, it would not be possible. When we therefore bring a little child, with its corrupted nature, to God in baptism, what can hinder God from being gracious to it, taking it up into the kingdom of God, and giving it the forgiveness of sins?” 

“Yet over us all shines the atonement, and all of us have exactly as great a portion in that which is the foundation and content of our salvation: Jesus only.”

“ ‘Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of of God’ and ‘Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.’ Do you see what I mean?... The first passages states God’s kingdom is received through regeneration in baptism...the other that children can receive the kingdom and that it is just they that receive it in the right way. If, then, it is the children who enter the kingdom in the right way, and if that way is to be born again, it also becomes clear that children really can be born again. And it becomes equally clear that we all received the kingdom of God when we were baptized as children.”

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

I've never been baptized and don't think I will be, because of falling outs with rude people at all the local churches. Am I going to hell?

“Very simply, baptism is an outward testimony of the inward change in a believer’s life. Christian baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord after salvation; although baptism is closely associated with salvation, it is not a requirement to be saved.” -gotquestions.org

[coffeeman777]

While I agree that baptism is not a requirement for salvation, Lord Jesus did –command– us to get baptized. Baptism isn’t a suggestion, it’s actually the starting line of obedience for new Christians. If you have the time and opportunity to be baptized, it’s really an act of rebellion to forgo it.

[notaflexitarian]

Many people don’t realize that you don’t need to be baptized by a pastor, reverend, minister, or even an elder. Any believer can baptize any other believer, though I recommend it be someone who is mature in the faith; someone who can walk you through it, explaining the process and why baptism is so important.

If you want an “official record” of your baptism (in other words, a certificate), you’ll probably have to have it done by a church or para-church organization (like a youth ministry or outreach program), but there’s nothing that says it MUST be done by an official church leader.

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

I actually didn’t know that. ^

[mandatalks]

What about people who were baptized as babies and don’t remember it? Can you/should you get re-baptized as an adult when you’re able to make that decision yourself?

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

Our church re-baptizes people who were baptized as babies. If you believe in believer’s baptism, you wouldn’t count an infant baptism as a baptism. At least I don’t think.

[schrodingers-blursed-kitty]

“Believer’s baptism?” So basically anyone who does get baptized as an infant isn’t really baptized? That doesn’t sound right

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

There’s 2 different interpretations of baptism. One is infant baptism which Catholics and Lutherans and Christian Reformed and some other denominations that I can’t think of right now do. The purpose of that is entirely different from the purpose of believer’s baptism which a lot of protestant denominations believe in. It’s supposed to be an outward declaration of your faith in Christ (similar to a profession of faith) so it needs to be done after you believe and when you’re old enough to make that choice. If someone who was baptized as an infant changes their beliefs about baptism, they should be baptized again because the purpose of infant baptism isn’t the same. I know I explained this horribly but I hope this helps. 

[mylightandmysalvation]

I may be wrong, but I think this is why Lutherans and Catholics have confirmation, right? Because you’re making a statement of faith which you weren’t old enough to do if you were baptized as an infant

[aubs-of-steel-deactivated201708]

Yeah, that would make sense.

[traveling-spartan]

Yes, this is absolutely why we have confirmation. It’s all well and good that the Holy Spirit gave me faith as an infant, but it was also important that I understood what Christianity believes and why - when I was old enough to really be taught about such things - so I could have sustaining faith on a conscious, intellectual level.

@logisticbumm and @thefife01, as always, I would appreciate my LCMS peeps double-checking me on this.

[thefife01]

I’ve got my Large Catechism next to me for fact-checking! Lutheran understanding of infant baptism:

“Further, we say that we are not very concerned to know whether the person baptized believes or not. For Baptism does not become invalid on that account. But everything depends on God’s Word and command.” (LC, IV, 52-53)

Basically, the Lutheran teaching focuses on God and what He does for us. Christ called us to baptize people so that they can receive the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:3 NIV – Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

All people, adults and infants alike, are dead in sin, so all benefit from the faith given in Baptism’s saving waters. Baptism is God’s gift to us, not something we do for God. Tradition in the LCMS churches have sponsors who promise to bring the child up in the faith alongside the parents.

The Sacrament of the Altar, on the other hand, warns against those taking it unworthily. (1 Corinthians 11:29 NIV –  For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.) That’s why we don’t administer the Lord’s Supper to babies.

[greater-than-the-sword]

I think I have been following this fairly well but I have a couple questions.

1. What does it mean to say that infant baptism gives faith?

2. What does it mean to say that infant baptism causes that baby to receive the Holy Spirit? (Is that what is being said here?)

3. In my experience “faith” and “receiving the Holy Spirit” are terms which imply that the person has first (or simultaneously) received eternal salvation. Does this imply that according to Lutheranism, infant baptism is salvific?

If so, I have a whole host of other questions because that simply wouldn’t make any sense to me as a Christian doctrine.

[traveling-spartan]

Just off the top of my head, I can answer the third question. We do consider infant baptism salvific (never heard that word before but it’s interesting). That is to say, if a baby were to be baptized, and pass away shortly after, I don’t doubt that he or she would go to Heaven and someday be reunited with his or her parents there. Which I’m certain has been a comforting idea for some in times of grief.

[thefife01]

1. When we say that infant baptism gives faith, we’re saying what happens in every baptism! All baptisms grant faith through the water and the Word. The person can still choose to reject this faith, but it is a gift freely given to them.

2. The infant receiving the Holy Spirit is just like any other person receiving the Holy Spirit. He enters into them to work faith. Again, they can reject the Holy Spirit, just like any other person. Baptism is God’s work, not the baby’s work (nor the adult’s work). It’s not about what they are doing for God, but it’s what God does for them!

3. What Trav said. Granting the Holy Spirit is God giving this saving faith, but again, it can be rejected by an infant as well as an adult. We don’t know specifically how God communicates with infants, because they can’t communicate to us, but we’d be denying God’s almighty power if we said he can’t give the gift of saving faith to infants as well as adults. We are all dead in sin, and we all need this gift of salvation.

We see Baptism as one of three unique ways that God interacts directly with his people through the Word and physical means (the other two being Confession and Absolution with the pastor acting in the stead of Christ and the Sacrament of the Altar where the bread and wine are Christ’s body and blood). Christians are commanded to create disciples of all nations and to baptize them. We include infants in this.

That’s not to say that we’re denying the power of the Word and it’s ability to work faith, but if God gives us a gift, we should be eager to share it with everyone!

[greater-than-the-sword]

So… let me see if I understand. (I’m just trying to understand, here, not argue.)

If an infant is baptized… the Holy Spirit communicates the gospel to them in a way which they can understand… and they then have the opportunity to accept or reject Christ in the same way as an older person would. But as a baby.

I probably got that totally wrong but let me know.

[thefife01]

I believe so. We don’t normally talk about accepting or rejecting the Holy Spirit in infants, but if infants couldn’t reject the Holy Spirit, it wouldn’t make sense. It would be the same case for people who are cognitively unable to communicate their beliefs to us, or people suffering from dementia or similar conditions. We do not deny the Holy Spirit’s power to work faith based on the person’s ability to communicate with us.

What’s important is that we are all dead in sin, and none of us can receive faith without the Holy Spirit’s power. Our ability to understand is just as hopeless as an infant’s without the Spirit.

[greater-than-the-sword]

Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind. It does contradict my view on what baptism is actually for, and also my (loosely-held) views about the idea of ongoing special revelation. But otherwise that’s not terrible.

[thefife01]

It’s really interesting how something that looks so simple to an outsider is actually so complex!

I forgot to add something to the original, and I edited it in my version of the post, but I thought I should put it here for further clarification!

EDIT: YIKES MY THEOLOGY PROFS WOULD HAVE POINTED THIS OUT

Lutherans believe that we cannot “choose to accept” Christ on our own. It’s only through the Holy Spirit that we can do that. So when a baby is baptized, he or she is given the Holy Spirit, which works the faith for the infant. However, it makes sense to me that the infant could also reject that faith, although that’s not written in our theological writings, to my knowledge.

[greater-than-the-sword]

👌👌 I’m a Calvinist, so your clarification is more than cool with me.

[never-turn-to-the-darkside]

I’m going to add a bit  (maybe a bit unnecessary)

As Lutherans we would say that the infant is totally dead in sin, but Baptism raises them from the dead in Christ and saves them. (Romans 3, Romans 6:1-10, 1 Peter 3:21) That in Baptism the child receives Christ’s righteousness, just as Christ took upon himself their sins. It is important to note that we still believe faith saves, but that this saving faith is granted by baptism, which is efficacious because of the Holy Spirit. From our perspective the question of whether the infant can or can’t reject Baptism is the wrong question. The child is saved by God’s grace. We trust that God gives them faith.

[never-turn-to-the-darkside]

Well I’m WELS so I hope that doesn’t count me out. Confirmation means strengthening. The point of Confirmation is that the confirmands learn the faith and know it. They then make a promise to remain faithful even to the point of death to the faith once delivered to the saints. (for many Lutheran congregations it is also at this point which one begins to take Communion).

 Also I would point out that our understanding of Baptism shouldn’t be called “Infant Baptism”. We do also baptize adults. I’m not really sure there’s a distinguishing term for our view. The core of our belief of baptism is that it is one of the Means of Grace through which God pours out his Holy Spirit and grants faith. It is God’s promise to the baptized of a clean conscience. The fundamental difference of it isn’t that we baptize infants - though that fact is a microcosm. We consider it not the believer’s act of obedience, but God’s gift of Grace.
