I am more used to it than you can imagine. All who are truly Lutherans are quite used to being assailed from the left and the right.
When you believe, teach, and confess: SOLA GRATIA, SOLA FIDE, SOLA SCRIPTURA, and SOLUS CHRISTUS you very soon come to understand the meaning of SOLA/SOLUS quite well. But it is well worth the cost, and I have counted the cost. Someone told me to do that, and that someone has never lied to me ... or to anyone.
