Perhaps they should also be called as teachers and pastors as well?
Absolutely not; at least, in my church. But if they wish to leave the Synod and continue in their own church, then so be it.
Read my other posts and you'll see my stance on this abomination. Yet I'm confident that, regardless of what confrontations we have with these pseudo Christians, they will continue on in their blasphemy.
I'm concerned with my fellow Christians who heartily seek God's blessings, and those who have yet to know Him. I'm not concerned with those who disfigure His Word and blaspheme His name. God will judge them. I don't have to.
