Okay, fellow LCMS'ers, best behavior. Remember that Christ says that if we cannot talk to other christians in love, we are not truely His disciples (John 13:35). They will know us by our fruits. It's not enough to be right. You have to be humble, too.

Luther would have a heart attack if he walked into a mega church

Luther using a poop metaphor was very on brand

Converted to Lutheranism a few weeks ago at a LCMS church in my town. Best decision I ever made. It’s probably the only church I know in town that goes into passionate detail about the Gospels of Christ.

Omg I never knew I was a Lutheran until now. It feels good to have your beliefs affirmed!!!!

6:41 What you said is right, but a little context/point to add is, that us lutherans generally believe in monergistic salvation, synergistic damnation. Like you said, salvation is entirely god's work, nothing we do. But if we are damned, it's our own fault. It doesn't anwer the "why" question, that's a mystery, it just describes the reality, that one can actively "abandon"/"walk away" from the faith. It accurately describes that the Bible talks both about god predestining us all, and also holding us responsible for our own actions. How predestination and this 'being held responsible' work together is a mystery.

Also 2:30 thanks for giving context to "baptism saves", namely that it's the faith that saves, not the act of baptism, which is just one way god creates faith. Because baptism is water+word combined and faith comes through the word of god.

All in all a very good simplified depiction of what we believe :)

My boyfriend is Lutheran, and I've been wanting to learn about his denomination, this was very helpful! God bless 🙏

[Adam_Marley]

As someone, who was a WELS-trained pastor, you represented my denomination fairly. Thank you!

[Deltaby]

This is a very unique insight into the Lutheran denomination

I'm a baptist from South Africa and Lutheran are pretty much non existent here so it was really good to learn and this denomination

Man even as an atheist I find the videos about Christian history and denominations fascinating

i’ve been going to a LCMS church for a while now and am going to ask to be catechized tomorrow! great video
edit: GUYS im sooo happy! i was pretty nervous the whole day but still excited to ask the pastor but usually he’s greeting people as they leave so i was thinking about not saying anything and might just email him but when i was passing by as he was greeting me he asked for my name and info and we talked about some youth thing they have and me getting catechized because they’re starting soon so it was good timing. i just thought it was so cool because i’ve been praying about it and for discernment of whether or not i should ask but i probably wouldn’t have even said anything if he didn’t ask! glory to God!

denominations explained is my favorite series on this channel

[brucejs]

Lifelong Lutheran here - you’ve represented us well. Nicely done!

Love to all lutherans from a brazilian catholic ❤

I was kind of worried about this one, but you nailed it. I'm an LCMS Lutheran (former WELS, switched for practical reasons; theology is the same) and this is easily one of the best 2-3 overviews of Lutheranism I've ever heard.

I love the Bach piano piece in the background, very fitting

I was raised in a family that bounced from AG, Baptists, Mennonite and a series of “home church” cults. Before I met my wife and tried out a LCMS church the only one place I felt at home was Baptists since they seemed to be the most consistent and sound. I am so blessed that God used my spouse to find the Lutheran church. It has cleared up a lot of the confusion I had picked up over the years and brings me great peace.
