“The Triune God baptizes us, and we confess Him”
There is no distinction—no age of assent, nor age of discretion, nor age of accountability, nor age of anything else—all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. God’s law stops every mouth and holds the whole world accountable.
“Confessing Christians stick-out their necks”
The German princes who presented the Augsburg Confession in 1530 reportedly said that, before they would let anyone take the Word of God and ask them to deny their God, they would kneel and
let the emperor cut off their heads.
“The Ascended Jesus did not leave His Church”
Jesus’s ascension and the angels’ message indicated that Jesus’s post-resurrection appearances had come to an end, and St. Luke indicates that the apostles’ Spirit-endowed witness would suffice for those who do not see Jesus.
The mission of Pilgrim Lutheran Church is to glorify God by receiving the forgiveness of sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and sharing that salvation through word and deed with those in our midst, in our community, and throughout the world.
