Augsburg Confession Article XII: Repentance

What is “true repentance”? Learn about what follows repentance, what it means to be sorrowful over sin, and why this article speaks of good works as “the fruit of repentance”. Also, hear about the (false) teachings that once you’re baptized you cannot sin anymore (“once saved always saved”) and if you sin after baptism you cannot be forgiven, and why these teachings are so destructive to the Gospel teaching of repentance. Lastly, learn whether the errors the confessors addressed in the teaching of repentance are still around today.

Rev. Jacob Dandy, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church and School in Terra Bella, California, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss repentance in Article XII of the Augsburg Confession.
