Even some of the Lutherans in the class had a bit of trouble with this one.
A couple of times during the class Pastor Mark asked the question, “You still want to be a Lutheran?”

Pastor Mark’s sermon for the 4th Sunday of Advent:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Free-will Christians ought to get reaquainted with the God of the Bible.”
(I liked that line that was in the sermon)

Thank you, Pastor Mark.

That’s right.
It is not biblical, and it places the human being’s will over and above the will of the Living God.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The quote is by Gerhard Forde. No doubt many others have said as much, and Pastor Mark is in their number.

TO
KNOW
HIM
as
He is
today, not
as a manger –
babe, but as the
One who lived and
died and lives
again, enthroned and
reigning in our hearts.
To sense the need of those
who only know the tinsel
and the rushing of the crowds,
who celebrate a day and nothing more —
because to them, He slumbers yet at Bethlehem.
To love Him , God’s Living Word, above all else, and
loving, wish to tell others everywhere
the Good News of redemption!
. . .this to us
IS CHRISTMAS !

‘Water only’ baptism is the same baptism that John the Baptist used, and it is still used by many churches today.
‘Water accompanied by the Word’ Baptism is the Baptism that we use because it is the Baptism that contains Jesus Himself.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pastor Mark shows us the differences in those baptisms in his 3rd Sunday in Advent sermon (below):

Also, it’s very good for Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, and Episcopalians…and anyone else who might get the urge to take matters into their own hands and rise above their created status.
“Why Jesus?” Using Romans and the Old Testament, Pastor Marks unpacks some of the intricacies in familiar stories of the Bible.
Well worth a listen, and forwarding on to folks who may not have heard these perspectives before.
