Methinks the great falling away, the apostate church, is in full swing. I find it stunning that people have risen to leaderships in these churches and yet seem to have ZERO grasp of, or care about, what the Bible says on such important issues. When someone takes a leadership position in our church, they have to openly share their testimony on how and when they came to Christ, state their belief in the Bible, etc. etc. etc. Apparently that kind of process is totally non-existent in these churches, with advancement no more dependent on spiritual and biblical issues than would be a VP position at the local bank.

Being Lutheran means you never have to say "I decided".
