About Me
Great post over on the 'Confessing Evangelical' Blog - major points quoted written by an Anglican Philip Cary BTW. This for me really hits the nail on the head as to why I became a Lutheran (vs. a Calvanist) - the basis of assurance that is not based on my faith (my work), but on Christ's word. The more I read about the Lutherans on their sacremental theology, the more this makes sense. Take a look.

YOU hit the nail on the head. There is no assurance of salvation outside of the sacramental view of theology.
We naturally want to turn in on ourselves. That is why the Lord (I believe) instituted the sacraments. He knew that left to our own devises we would look like the purpose-driven church.
Thanks Mr. T!
