Are Lutherans true Christians?
Lutheranism represents a specific expression of the Christian faith, grounded in historical roots, unique theological viewpoints, and a rich tradition of worship and education. While we share the essential creed with our fellow Christians, our Lutheran identity shapes how we understand and live out our faith. ANSWER: While Lutheran theology strongly emphasizes the importance of good works and holy living as fruits of a true and living faith in Jesus Christ, Lutherans also believe that the Bible teaches that Christians will not be “entirely sanctified” and totally free of sin until they reach their home in heaven.
