As I've said before, Lutheranism is defined in the Book of Concord not synodical statements. Statements made by LCMS Q&A may or may not reflect the Lutheran symbols. In this case, an error was made,

Those who have been baptized, but who no longer believe, will not be saved.

This is clearly contrary to the confessions. The Holy Spirit works faith in baptism when it pleases God.

But you don't have to believe me. You can read the Augsburg Confession for yourself:

Quote
For through the Word and Sacraments, as through instruments, the Holy Ghost is given, who works faith; where and when it pleases God, in them that hear the Gospel, to wit, that God, not for our own merits, but for Christ's sake, justifies those who believe that they are received into grace for Christ's sake.

The LCMS should be ashamed for allowing false teaching rubbish to appear on their website.
