Lifelong Lutheran, I took this with my dad, who recently retired as an LCMS pastor. I got 18/25, he got 22/25. Great quiz!

Got most of them. I'm multi-generational Lutheran. My grandparents were Germans from Russia and immigrated from Crimea in 1874 and settled in South Dakota. Have grown up with different family branches in LCMS, WELS and ELCA and other outlier Lutherans. For not being Lutheran, you have provided a lot of good content about our teachings. You hooked me a couple years ago and I thank you for all your useful content.

I was raised LCMS LUTHERAN. German Lutheran on my dads side of family. Then Jesus found me in sin and saved me at 18. December 23, 1973. I tried to be a Lutheran minister. But it didn't work out. So I went to the Railroad and became a Locomotive Engineer.

Being LCMS, I knew most of them. There were a couple that surprised me, but I think I can safely say I knew about 21 of the 25. Also, many within the LCMS (as well as the WELS) would hold that the ELCA is Lutheran in name only.

The Boerne Public Library in Boerne, Texas has a Lutheran Bible from 1604 on display for anyone passing through.

Good, challenging quiz. I ended up 21/25.

You got me on the Church of Norway (I thought Sweden), Lutheran renewal, the Swedish pastor guy, and the Synodical Conference (the only one I’m annoyed at missing)

[stevestolarczyk]

Lutheran pastor here. Got all but 2. The questions about international Lutheranism tested me a bit. Good opportunity to see the gap in my knowledge. Thank you.

[jobethk]

Did pretty well. Didn’t know Lars and some groups from last century.

[mysticmouse]

Great test. I knew most of the answers. Keep up the good work.

[beardedbdub]

This is great! I’m looking forward to the future “what do you know about…” videos! 👍

[perilousrange]

I was feeling strong through the first half, didn't do so well in the middle, recovered again at the end.

[weirdlanguageguy]

12/25, my knowledge of Lutheranism is better than the lay public but not as in depth as an actual lutheran would be

[RaphaCramer]

20/25 from a Brazilian Lutheran (Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil)

[samyka]

Oh boy! I AM a Lutheran and I only scored 14/25. 😂 Well, the specific American questions were hard for me because I'm German. But still.... 🤔

Thank you, Joshua. Happy New Year 🌹⭐🌹

[heatherclark]

I really appreciate your intelligent objective presentations

[Lorrainecats]

Lutheran here, grew up Baptist. Got about half right

[nckoes]

21/25 adult convert to the LCMS. A lot of what I knew was from YouTube channels like this.

[archishot]

I've been Lutheran for a few months, got 20/25. The movements and international stuff stumped me, I guessed Sweden instead of Norway 😭- Good quiz!

Actually, the proper/traditional phraseology for intercommunion is Pulpit and Altar Fellowship, not the other way around. (Though today, it is mostly heard as "Altar and Pulpit")
