    What do Lutherans believe?

    My next question is What do Lutherans believe about God's eternal decree? Do they use that term? Does the concept have a place in Lutheran teaching? Is there any Lutheran teaching about the concept described in the following from the WCF Chapter III Of God's Eternal Decree I. God from all...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    The Acts of the Apostles says that the believers were first called [by divine providence] Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    But what does "under" mean in the statement "under the bread and wine" ? Do Lutherans teach this "much of what is stated after the Consecration isn't really and fully "there" then there's no textual reason to believe that Christ is there and that the texts are right about that"?

    What do Lutherans believe?

    I guess that "outside the Church there is no salvation" is biblical while "outside the UPC" probably isn't. I am being slightly facetious. I wonder what Lutherans say about the idea expressed in "outside the church there is no salvation"?

    What do Lutherans believe?

    That's a reasonable question but I'd hazard the guess that Lutherans do not need to agree with Martin Luther's opinions on Jews. I do not think that Martin Luther's opinions on Jews are part of the "Book of Concord". If it is then I hope one of our Lutheran brethren will correct my statement.

    What do Lutherans believe?

    People who gather in a church need some sort of name for their shared beliefs I guess. "Lutheran" is as good as any name. "Pentecostal" is a name too :)

    What do Lutherans believe?

    As an aside in reply to this quote "The book of concord as well as the Roman catechism seem to be in direct conflict with Sola Scriptura." The Catholic Church does not teach or believe "sola scriptura". I imagine that Lutherans probably do teach and believe it. But this thread is about what...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    I'm curious to know - does explaining Lutheran teaching always depend on contrasting it with Catholic teaching?

    What do Lutherans believe?

    Okay, what do Lutherans believe about the holy scriptures, the canon, inspiration, authority, role in forming doctrine; something along the lines of a short tract commenting these things and how confessional Lutherans see the changes (if any) that non-confessional Lutherans make in their summary...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    Be sweet Josiah, do the "in your own words" thing and set it up like a chapter in a book about one topic. Then extra topics can be done. I will click the links and see what's what but for the benefit of everybody a little post on each topic that seems important one topic at a time would be...

    What do Lutherans believe?

    Lamm suggested that a thread be started to look at what Lutherans believe. Since I am not a lutheran I will not try to tell people what Lutherans believe because I would rather hear/see them tell others what they believe and hold dear to themselves as faithful Lutherans seeking to serve God and...

    Why I Gave Up

    Get an electric Christmas tree , one of the optical fibre LED based ones - they are inexpensive and pretty and they don't need any significant effort to set up and decorate. :) PS: on a serious note the gifts given at Christmas time are intended to be gifts of grace from one human being to...

    Azusastreet witnesses

    The video is interesting and very USA centric. Even though some people think that the Azusa street mission was the birthplace of Pentecostalism UK people are inclined to think the birth place was in Wales in 1904 and perhaps earlier still with other movements in the UK emphasising speaking in...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Cool,is the book of concord like the infallible portions of the canons a church council approved by the pope - given that you can't be a true Lutheran unless you subscribe to it.

    We do that at every mass. Does that mean that we're in a constant state of revival? :)
