  Luther and our old dogmaticians held the opinion that the 'great apostasy' ( prophesied in 2 Thess. 2 and Rev. 13-17) had reached its complete development in the Roman papacy and that the Pope, who is at the head of the Roman Church and claims to be the visible vicegerent of Christ, was the prophesied Antichrist.

• Church Fellowship- The Position of the WELS and its Sister Churches ( PDF, 322.3 KB )
  This study was made to show the doctrine of Church fellowship held by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). It was first distributed at the German Free Conference in Grebenhain, Hessen in August 2014. Many people wanted to know more about the situation in the WELS- sister churches, especially in Germany. Therefore, the original paper was completely rearranged and passages on the history of the two confessional Lutheran church bodies in Germany were added with a strong focus on the Evangelisch Lutherische Freikirche (ELFK), the sister synod of the WELS. The base of this study is always the official position of the different church bodies. Non- official statements and papers are always marked as not being official statements but they are sometimes used to describe developments inside the synods that are not yet reflected by their official position.
• DEFYING THE DOCTRINE OF VERBAL INSPIRATION FACE TO THE HIGHER CRITICISM OR HISTORICAL CRITICAL METHOD ( PDF, 275.1 KB )
  We stand face to the fundamental question of theology and for that reason also of Christian faith and life, namely the question how I, as a Christian, and how the Church of Jesus Christ stands concerning the Bible – is it the Word of God, inspired by His Ghost, and for that reason absolutely inerrant, absolutely true, absolutely correct and without contradictions - or is it a book as all others are too?
• Regeneration in Baptism ( PDF, 82.9 KB )
  Baptism is an issue with a lot of different understandings. One of the most frequently asked question in the context of regeneration is: “When in baptism we get the regeneration, how it can be possible, that millions of baptized people live and die without God, do not care about faith, and live like all the others in flesh?” This question shows a big misunderstanding of the meaning of regeneration and why it is necessary.
• The importance of upholding the moral code of Scripture and its connection to the preaching of the gospel ( PDF, 71.8 KB )
