The Logic of Faith


in Protestant theology:
Major premise: Whoever believes in Christ is saved.
Minor premise: I believe in Christ.
Conclusion: I am saved.

in Lutheran theology:
Major premise: Christ told me, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Minor premise: Christ never lies, but only tells the truth.
Conclusion: I am baptized (i.e., I am saved).
