Pastor Wil Weedon of St. Paul's Lutheran in Hamel, IL posted a very interesting sermon on his blog. It deals with an idea we talked about in Bible Class a week ago, about how some Lutherans will use the phrase "But I am baptized" as a license to sin. I know I am certainly guilty of this.
This is a phrase Luther would always come back to whenever the devil would come to torment him and remind him of past sins. Then Luther would say, "But I am baptized," which would give him comfort. This is much different from using "But I am baptized" as a "get out of hell free" card.
Check out this sermon on this subject.
