The Lutheran Church is primarily based on the teachings and beliefs of the 16th-century German friar, church reformer and theologian, Martin Luther. While there are many distinct bodies of the Lutherans throughout the world, each one to a certain extent follows the theology of Martin Luther and his Protestant Reformation from the Catholic Church.

Lutherans promotes the concept of justification "by grace alone through faith alone on the basis of Scripture alone", the belief that the Bible is the ultimate authority on all issues of faith. Today, it is estimated there are over 70 million members of different Lutheran denominations all around the world. Check out our list of 15 facts below!

tbh, go Non-Denominational, bible teaching only.

Lutherans, like catholics, etc, have Dogma beliefs that sometimes are minuscule in the grand theme of things.

Baptists think dancing and drinking are wrong, etc.. Pentacostals believe if you dont speak in Tongues, you are not Saved (bible says Tongues is the LEAST of biblical gifts).

The only thing that matters is Jesus/God. As long as they teach out of the Bible, they are spot on.

If you don't mind me asking what church do you go too?

[wingattebaby16]

non-denominational close to my house. They teach the bible, don't make things up or change the meaning (Jesus did not really turn water into wine. He turned it into non-alcoholic grape juice. This was from a Legalistic church with a former Baptist preacher).

They don't have a missile (sp?) where the Catholic priest interprets the bible, nor do they have a 2nd Bible since the first one was not meeting their needs (Cult = Mormons)

That's a funny topic because we begin to realize how many branches say that all the others are wrong. Maybe that they're all right in saying that, all dogmas are wrong. I'd think even various Lutheran churches may have their own rules. I think they all have shortcomings that they'll never care about.
