They may come in different sizes, but the UOJ Stormtroopers are otherwise exactly alike. |
From a WELS member:
Recent WLS graduates have been taught that it is up to them to tell people that they are saved (UOJ), and that nobody else will, so if they don't, they're condemning them to hell.

GJ - That is an excellent summary from someone who knows. Of course, the WELS approach is full of lies, apart from the false doctrine. They--and the LCMS, ELS, and various shards and splinters of the Synodical Conference--agree with ELCA, give or take a little language variation.
I recall an LCA tape where they said angrily that the Evangelicals "did not teach grace." The man's voice cracked with emotion. He meant, "They do not teach universal salvation." That is grace to the mainlines, and WELS/ELS/LCMS are modern, rationalistic mainline groups.
Here is an official verson of WELS dogma, from their little periodical, The Popes Speak, aka WELS Meditations -
March-May 2014, for Monday, 17 March 2014. The howler is in the second column which reads:
"No matter what you did yesterday -- or failed to do -- and no matter what you will do tomorrow, God has forgiven you."
