Default Re: The local church, the Work and the New Testament Ministry

I mean Drake, think about it- your model would have all things related to justification by faith as being a possession exclusively of the Lutherians, and any organization that uses justification by faith should fall under the Lutheran banner. Only those who fall under Lutherians are the real justified? No, the truth belongs to the saints, and due to the history of The Church, a lot of strange practices came in. Yes there is a need to recover the right practices; no, right practices are not the domaine of such and such a minister. W Née saw something of the right way to meet, WL spoke that and people began meeting according to that- but the meeting as a church in wxyzzz, does not give WL or his company exclusive rights to that meeting- it does not make LSM lord of that group meeting. This should be so blatantly obvious- somehow LSM has exclusive rights to LCs?

WL wrote and talked about a lot more than just LC. Some do not like the rest of his teachings- all of his material should not be imposed on a group gathering together as The Church in qrst just because he may have introduced the topic. Truth belongs to the Church, it is from God to The Church. Many do not see all of WLs work as being ministry. Obviously, you accept it, but either let The Church be the Church, or call the LCs the church of WL or Leeites but don't mix apples and rhubarbs!
