Many years ago, the below church had a godly, biblical pastor. He helped conservative pastors like myself stand against the pro-gay onslaught that has now overtaken the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. But this church stayed in the ELCA. Today this church has a transgender pastor. That is the danger of staying in an heretical denomination. Liberal bishops help direct you to your next pastor. And a pastoral candidate can sound very biblical during the interview phase, so you have to ask direct questions like: Do you believe there is a hell? Do you believe Jesus is the only way of salvation? Do you believe we should worship “God the Mother”? What do you believe about abortion, transgenderism and homosexuality? Those questions will help scout out whether you want that pastor or not. But even if you can still find a biblical pastor in an unbiblical denomination, I would still get out while you can. And please say a prayer for the United Methodists who are now splitting over homosexuality. Pray that many congregations will leave United Methodism and join the new, biblical Methodist group that is forming called the Global Methodist Church. In Christ, Pastor Tom Brock PS. Just a reminder, Jesus said there are two sexes, male and female (Matthew 19:4). If you are a female and you think you are a male, you are still a female—even if you take hormones and now have a beard.

The ELCA's embrace and promotion of sin and its preaching of pagan universalism propel people toward hell. That alone is more than reason enough for all believers to flee this enemy-of-Christ denomination and take their money with them.

without going into the situation that had me attending a Lutheran church, I did end up there for a few years. Became an officer on the council, and finance committees, etc. I liked what I was doing...........BUt my conscience was not happy--I know the insurance paid for abortions, and of course other issues came up.

Is that Roseville Lutheran Church in Roseville, MN? I went there back in the 80s. Pastor Bjorge was the senior pastor and Pastor Hansen was the associate. It was a great church back then and stuck to the Bible.
