Gerhard and Walther

Whoever does not hear the Word of God, partake of the holy Sacrament, does not diligently pray, does not fight against the lusts of the flesh, shall not be able to obtain true godliness.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis II:142. 

The apostles expressly attributed to themselves the power to forgive sins, and they employed this power with explicit words.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 359.
