A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all. (next show)”Soul's freedom is not external liberty (like political freedom, or freedom from sickness, freedom from being poor, etc.), but what happens when the Word of God comes into contact with the individual.Word of God is command and promise (another way of saying Law and Gospel)Faith has a threefold power1.  Free from Law2. Trusts/Honors God3. Unites the Soul with ChristFaith is fulfillment of 1st commandment.  Faith receives double honor: priesthood and kingship.  Thus:   A Christian is lord of all, completely free in everythinghttps://www.castingnetspod.org/Host: Pastor Will HarleyHost: Pastor Dave RuddatSong: LegendaryMusic by: CreatorMix.comLets Rock Todayby leadsquid

Episode 371 – "Other Factions and Sects" (Formula of Concord, Article XII)Casting Nets WELS PodcastThis is a live-streamed episode from the Casting Nets Podcast, hosted by pastors of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The episode covers Article XII of the Formula of Concord, which deals with various religious factions and sects that arose during the Reformation era — groups that the Lutheran confessors felt deviated from correct doctrine.About the series: The podcast works through the Book of Concord, the collection of Lutheran confessional documents. Article XII of the Formula of Concord (1577) addresses groups such as Anabaptists, Schwenkfeldians, and others who held views at odds with Lutheran orthodoxy on topics like baptism, the Lord's Supper, the nature of Christ, and civil government.For a full summary of the episode's specific discussion, you'd need to watch or listen to it directly.

The episode covers Article XI of the Formula of Concord, a key Lutheran confessional document from the 16th century. The main focus is on two closely related theological topics:God's eternal foreknowledge: How God knows all things, including future events, from eternity.Election (or predestination): God's gracious choiceIt explores the Lutheran understanding of these doctrines, emphasizing:What exactly did God choose, and what does it mean he chose it "in Christ."The comfort this brings to believersCareful distinctions to avoid common errors (such as double predestination or making election dependent on human works/foreseen faith)The hosts walk through the confessional teaching, explaining what the Formula of Concord affirms and rejects on these points to provide clarity and pastoral encouragement.The description indicates this is part of a series going through the Formula of Concord article by article.Next time: Article XII – “Other Factions and Sects” (addressing various errors and groups that deviate from the Lutheran position).Music: Features “Legendary” by CreatorMix.com and “Lets Rock Today” by leadsquid.Website: https://www.castingnetspod.org/ (for more episodes or show notes).This is a theological/doctrinal podcast aimed at Lutheran listeners (or anyone interested in historic Protestant confessions), diving deep into biblical teaching as summarized in the Formula of Concord.

Lutherans faced intense pressure from "Sacramentarian" (who, despite the name, were not sacramental) views that placed Christ's body far away in heaven, reducing the Supper to a symbolic memorial or spiritual ascent by faith alone.

Dive deep into one of the most debated and defended doctrines of the Reformation: the Lord's Supper. Lutherans faced intense pressure from "Sacramentarian" (who, despite the name, were not sacramental) views that placed Christ's body far away in heaven, reducing the Supper to a symbolic memorial or spiritual ascent by faith alone. The Formula pushed back firmly: Christ's own words—"This is My Body... This is My Blood"—mean exactly what they say. Through the miraculous sacramental union, the true body and blood of Christ are really present and distributed with the bread and wine, received by mouth (not just faith), by worthy and unworthy alike—bringing forgiveness and life to believers, yet judgment to unbelievers.No transubstantiation, no mere symbolism, no cannibalism of the body and blood of Christ, just the straightforward, almighty power of Christ's words together with eating and drinking.

"It is not possible for a person to deny the third use of the Law and be regarded as genuinely Lutheran. It is also true that the third use of the Law is improperly explained or applied, it can lead people to believe that striving to obey God's Law is the chief aim, purpose, or goal of the Christian life, to the point that the Gospel is obscured and recedes into the background of Christian preaching and teaching."

You would think that good works and justification, concepts Luther wrestled with and Scripture settled, would be a no-brainer issue for those following after Luther.

Join us as we go through the last document in the Book of Concord, which is called "The Formula of Concord." After Luther's death, the Evangelical Lutheran church was not as solid as one might think. Satan wasn't finished harassing Christ's church, whether it was via persecution (involving prison, war, and death), or old heresies in new clothing, or finally personality conflicts within. Lutheranism doesn't evolve over time. By the grace of God, it returns to the source (the Scriptures) again and again, finding there true strength and unity. (i.e. "Concord") We will introduce some of the next generation of Lutherans and introduce the Formula of Concord,
