Today, I baptized twenty babies before breakfast, then accidentally baptized seven Anabaptists… permanently. Afterwards, I celebrated with a
hearty mug of “Simul Justus et Peccator Mead”-not to be confused with the inferior “Just a Sinner Mead.”
Ah, just another day in the life of a 16th-century Lutheran.

“Christ our Savior and all his apostles preached justification by faith, even as did the prophets of the Old Testament. Justification is the central doctrine of all the Scriptures, the heart and soul of the entire Christian religion. All believers are justified, all the saints in heaven now have been made what they are by justification, and at the last day the righteous at Christ’s right hand will be there because they have continued in justification to the end.”

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. - 1 Corinthians 6:11
The Corinthians had received all the benefits of purity in their baptism, which is the foundation of the truth of the gospel. In baptism the believer is washed clean from all sins and is made righteous in the name of the Lord, and through the Spirit of God he is adopted as God’s child. With these words, Paul is reminding them how great and how special is the grace which they have received in the true tradition. But afterward, by thinking which is contrary to this baptismal rule of faith, they had stripped themselves of these benefits. For this reason he is trying to bring them back to their original way of thinking, so that they can recover what they had once received. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.

The early church fathers like Irenaeus, Athanasius, and others consistently taught that Scripture has supreme authority and the church must submit to it. Yet the Eastern Orthodox Church at the Council of Jerusalem (1672) declared the church’s authority equal to Scripture. How do you reconcile this fundamental shift with the claim of maintaining unchanged Apostolic tradition?

He cannot logically maintain both:
• That baptism provides real remission of sin for infants
• That this salvific effect can later be lost
• That true salvation cannot be lost
These positions form a logical triangle that cannot be reconciled.

1 Corinthians 9:27 (KJV)
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.”
Romans 1:28 (KJV)
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.”
2 Corinthians 13:5-7 (KJV)
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.”
2 Timothy 3:8 (KJV)
“Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”
Titus 1:16 (KJV)
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

In Jeremiah 12:9, one Hebrew word changed everything.
The KJV gave us a "speckled bird" – vulnerable, marked, different – an image so powerful it soared into country music lyrics and nestled in the hearts of believers seeking comfort in their spiritual outsider status.
The ESV scholars, armed with Arabic linguistics and archaeological findings, offered us a "hyena's lair" – academically rigorous, historically accurate, and completely unmemorable to anyone without a PhD in Ancient Near Eastern studies.
One became a cultural touchstone that comforts the faithful; the other became a footnote that impresses the scholarly.
Sometimes, linguistic precision costs you a spot on the Billboard charts.

“Christianity is the only remedy to war. Not a bloodless gospel on the one hand, not an adulterated evangelicalism on the other. It must be Blood against blood.
All intermediary systems, all efforts to mix these two forces and bloods by either Christian reformers or reformed pagans, have only one effect in the long run, to create martyrs for the truth by adding to the great lie of all time, and thus perpetuating the persecuting spirit in new forms, and the wars of men under new ‘religious’ cloaks.
The remedy for war, and the sin which produces it, must be as extreme, as costly and as painful, as the disease it has to remove. It is the fashion just now to consider the bloodiness of Calvary as too unpleasant a subject for polite ears. Our modern humanitarianism would do away altogether with the doctrine of the cross. The vulgar spitting, the crown of thorns, the mocking enthronement, the seven hours hanging on wounds, the pierced side, are disagreeable subjects. For if they mean anything they mean ‘the exceeding sinfulness of sin,’ and the completely ‘lost’ state of the most comfortable moralists around us, apart from personal salvation by the cross of Christ.”

Davenant argues that baptism provides a remission of original sin for infants but denies that it imparts “habitual faith and love.” He creates distinct categories of “justification, regeneration, and adoption” for infants versus adults.
He states: “The justification, regeneration and adoption which we Grant to be the privileged of baptized infants is not exactly the same with that justification, regeneration and adoption which in the question about the perseverance of the Saints we contend can never be lost.”

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: - Romans 11:26
God will give them back the free exercise of their will so that, because their unbelief did not spring from malice but from error, they may be put right and afterward be saved…. Paul quotes Isaiah in order to prove that God has reserved a gift for them, in order to teach that they can be set free by the same grace by which the believing Jews have already been set free, because he is not empty but always full of grace. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
- Ambrosiaster
What does it mean to say that “all Israel will be saved?” Just as we say that the whole world and all the nations are being saved because everywhere and among all nations there are those who are coming to faith, so also “all Israel will be saved” does not mean that every one of them will be but that either those who were understood by Elijah or those who are scattered all over the world will one day come to faith. .
- Diodorus of Tarsus
Although it was rejected, Israel will also be saved eventually, a hope which Paul confirms by quoting this text of Scripture. For indeed, Israel will be saved in its own time and will be called at the end, after the calling of the Gentiles. .
