...this one is about 2/3 of the way through - the poor interviewer, however, seems not to believe the Scriptural teaching about infant Baptism. Pity! "The promise is for you and for your children..."
The interviewer's name is Todd Friel. I used to listen to him about 5 years ago when he was on the radio locally in Minneapolis. At the time, I was a Roman Catholic searching for "The Truth". Ironically, I stopped listening to him when I discovered Issues, Etc. (and subsequently learned "The Truth"). Even though Todd Friel is very conservative, his assurance is based on his "conversion experience" just like (I believe) most evangelicals. What a blessing it was when I learned on Issues, Etc. that Baptism is God's work, not man's, and that my assurance is based on the promises tied to my Baptism (Acts 2:38-39), not in my "experiences".
Ah WOTMR....I've dealt with them many a times :-). The good thing is Tony Verkinness (I think the producer who gives the news before hour 2) is going to be Lutheran and is on the Wittenberg Trail.
I used to listen to the radio host- Todd Friel annd he has a very good show. He uses lots of Law and Gospel. I do not believe he is evangelical but maybe Lutheran. His comment on infant baptism wasn't serious, he was just joking.
VDMA, I also enjoyed listening to Todd Friel, though it has been a few years. However, he is NOT a Lutheran. His comments on infant baptism were not a joke. He absolutely rejects infant baptism.
The thing which impressed me the most was the way Molly explained both the "Issues Etc." cancellation and the state of the LC-MS. She truly spoke to the disregard synodical leadership has toward Confessional Lutheranism.
Even so, the interview is a classic case of Cssclassic example of Christ-centered, cross-focused teaching in conversation with conservative evangelicalism.
The hosts of the show do seem sincerely opposed to shallow finess. Even so, their anti-infant Baptism remarks betrayed a decisionist element which made me a bit squeemish. Did the hosts ever clearly define the Gospel? Correct me, please, if I am being to critical.
In the face of the hosts' remarks, Molly truly explained so clearly what is at stake--in the words of "Issues Etc."--"defending the faith...teaching the truth" of Christ Jesus our One and Only Savior."

Yeah, it's too bad about the infant baptism. But that interview was great. Good sense of humor, too.
