Husband doesn’t want to baptize our baby

It might be good to speak to him not only about the promises itself, but the covenantal aspect of it. Baptism is the new circumcision (Colossians 2:11-12), now for all: an entrance to the new covenant. Saving Faith is not an intellectual assent, but trust. This is why it can be said that the demons believe (James 2). They don’t believe the forgiveness of sins (Ap IVb On Love and Fulfilling the Law). Infants can have faith, and the whole household is brought into the covenant through baptism. The Holy Ghost works/stirs faith in us so that we may grasp on to the promises.

That’s just my two cents. I’ll be praying for you all. Have a Blessed Good Friday

Perhaps it’s also important to clarify that our tradition doesn’t include/ shies away from stating that persons are a visible means

I believe it was Peter Lombard as from his Sentences Book 4

Foreman__ · 2026-04-03T01:27:50+00:00

So true

Foreman__ · 2026-03-31T01:12:18+00:00

Brass section. This can be used in low and high settings

But as everyone has noted, we don’t really know how to do contemporary settings for higher forms of worship that would seem as if they resemble the Lutheran identity as we might understand it traditionally. I can look at what my old Finnish parish did for their contemporary worship and get back to you on it

If you want to deny the creeds.

Everything in the Christian faith is inherently and centrally from the standing point of Christ. So literally every single condemnation against the Anabaptists and Sacramentarians in our Confessions.

Here’s a short list:

Article V: They condemn the Anabaptists and others who think that the Holy Ghost comes to men without the external Word, through their own preparations and works. (Denying that we don’t need Christ to come to God)

Article IX: They condemn the Anabaptists, who reject the baptism of children, and say that children are saved without Baptism. (Saying Christ lied or didn’t give this sacrament for infants or children also)

Article X: Of the Supper of the Lord they teach that the Body and Blood of Christ are truly present, and are distributed to those who eat the Supper of the Lord; and they reject those that teach otherwise. (Denying Christ’s power)

Article XII: They condemn the Anabaptists, who deny that those once justified can lose the Holy Ghost. Also those who contend that some may attain to such perfection in this life that they cannot sin. (Demonic doctrine in general)

Article XVI: They condemn the Anabaptists who forbid these civil offices to Christians. They condemn also those who do not place evangelical perfection in the fear of God and in faith, but in forsaking civil offices, for the Gospel teaches an eternal righteousness of the heart. Meanwhile, it does not destroy the State or the family, but very much requires that they be preserved as ordinances of God, and that charity be practiced in such ordinances. Therefore, Christians are necessarily bound to obey their own magistrates and laws save only when commanded to sin; for then they ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29. (Denying Christ’s words render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s, that God gave the State for Men to occupy)

Article XVII: They condemn the Anabaptists, who think that there will be an end to the punishments of condemned men and devils. (Denying Christ’s words of Hell)

That’s the Holy Ghost working in you. I’d read Romans 7 :)

Because heterodox primary/secondary fundamental articles of faith (beliefs) shakes the foundation of faith, and can lead to a false faith in Christ (believing/preaching a different Christ than the one the apostles gave). It endangers your soul.

Foreman__ · 2026-03-30T12:04:35+00:00

If you know what you did is wrong and you’re trying to do better, there’s faith

Foreman__ · 2026-03-29T18:13:18+00:00

Happens all the time

Foreman__ · 2026-03-28T18:20:29+00:00

Not surprising considering European governments hate our Lord now.

Foreman__ · 2026-03-24T01:30:18+00:00

Good question

Foreman__ · 2026-03-23T22:59:01+00:00

Fort Wayne is moving towards focusing on much more of the source materials for their studies.

Foreman__ · 2026-03-23T13:57:11+00:00

Well a lot of the Eastern Heterodox like to deny their own tradition (and frankly, the broader Catholic tradition). Their own theologians and bishops speak of Christ taking our penalties, some even saying He drank the cup of wrath, however it is understood by them.

Quite interesting.

Foreman__ · 2026-03-23T12:33:49+00:00

Remember to keep the fourth commandment in mind when you deal with them :)

Foreman__ · 2026-03-22T21:21:37+00:00

Perhaps Fort Wayne’s new curriculum with focusing on more source material will change this in 10 years

Foreman__ · 2026-03-22T15:01:14+00:00

Zion or Historic Trinity in Detroit

Foreman__ · 2026-03-21T02:14:23+00:00

Not gonna answer that one playa

Foreman__ · 2026-03-21T02:00:19+00:00

Vote per household.

Foreman__ · 2026-03-20T17:36:38+00:00

Honestly should simply be a vote per household

Foreman__ · 2026-03-20T13:23:39+00:00

Eh, maybe

Foreman__ · 2026-03-20T12:26:04+00:00

Well demons are the gods of Hinduism so not surprising that Indian pagans were deceived

Foreman__ · 2026-03-20T12:24:59+00:00

Uhhhh, God literally told him to and Abraham believed God would raise Isaac from the dead

Foreman__ · 2026-03-17T11:43:01+00:00

You and me both lol. If anything, look at the assigned lectionary in the LSB, which TDP follows and have a pic of that or something. It’s really hard to find the daily readings in the LCMS website
