Our divine calling is to go into the world and make disciples of all nations. Marching orders directly from Jesus. Our concern is with souls not with the world

Well, I’d find some fault in that, too.

That commission was given to the apostles and ministers (the sent), not to the people. They were to teach the gospel and baptize.

The divine call to the laity is to Faith (alone); belief in the humiliation and death of Christ for our (my) sins and that He raised His corporal body from the dead three days later. That Faith is thereby accredited to us (me) as righteousness before God.

Luther would provide that the individual XPian (laity) that “goes”, “teaches” and “baptizes” would be found in the Law performing “works righteousness”.

This would be the error of the Schwenkfeldians, who today are known as Modern American Evangelicals (like Billy Graham).
