| What is a Lutheran? | ||
 |
The Lutheran Church originates out of Martin Luther's sixteen-century protesting of certain Roman Catholic church teachings for which Luther found no biblical basis. His primary insight into the Gospel was that salvation is never earned by our own effort, but is a free gracious gift of God. | |
| Thus, Lutherans
have ties to Roman Catholicism (Martin Luther was, after all, an Augustinian
monk), as well as to other Protestant churches. If you would like to learn
more about what a Lutheran is, please visit http://www.elca.org/communication/brief.html
To become a Lutheran, only Baptism and instruction in the Christian faith is required. If you are already baptized, it will be necessary only to attend a membership class in a Lutheran congregation and thus signify your desire to become a part of its community. |
