Your story gets more convoluted, was Pastor #1 LCMS, or did he and you become LCMS in 1961?

Pastor #1 and our church joined LCMS in 1961. He was placed on the LCMS roster. I was 5 and a baptized member at the time.

May we discuss the role of Pastor in a LCMS church? First of all are you a Pastor?

So he wasn't LCMS at the time he preached only Lutherans in heaven? Since that obviously isn't a doctrinal position of the LCMS. I am not a pastor.
