We believe, teach, and confesss that many weaknesses and defects cling to the true believers and truly regenerate, even up to the day they are buried. Still, they must not on that account doubt either their righteousness, which has been credited to them through faith, or the salvation of their souls. They must regard it as certain that for Christ' sake, according to the promise and immovable Word of the Holy Gospel, they have a gracious God.
~BOC, FE, III, 9
