What is the diff between Luthren and Baptist?

Question

Hello,
what is the difference between luthren and baptist, and how do these religions compare to Christian? thank a bunch =)

Answer 1

I have no idea...never understood why protestants have so many different sects for a group with the same belief system.

Answer 2

the final Baptist and American Baptist are reminiscent of the Southern Baptist. Their order of worship and doctrinal teachings are tremendously much the comparable. Southern Baptist, even nevertheless all over the USA, have been the final Baptist that have been separated under the Mason Dixon line in the process the conflict between the States. The self reliant Baptist stream chop up out interior the early interior the final century. The reasonable Baptist chop up out interior the 1990's. oftentimes talking the self reliant and Missionary Baptist are extra conservative or legalistic, the reasonable Baptist are extra liberal, and the Southern Baptist are extra midsection of the line-yet conservative.

Answer 3

I have a limited knowledge of the Lutheran church, but it seems to me Lutherans are more like Catholics than Baptists are. Both are considered protestant chuches. I grew up in a Baptist church, so I can tell you more about Baptists than Luterans.

During communion, Baptists consider the bread and wine (or grape juice) to be symbolic of Jesus' body and blood. I don't think Lutherans accept the extreme view that the bread and wine are literally becoming the body and blood of Jesus like the Catholics, but I think their view differs from Baptists somehow.

From my personal experience knowing some Lutherans, it seems many of them believe in salvation by works. This error can be found among practitioners of any Christian religion however, so I don't draw conclusions from this.

Answer 4

The Reformation resulted in many Protestant churches, as people followed the dictates of their faith. Lutheran takes it's name from the father of the Reformation, Martin Luther. Lutheran Churches tend to be more "high church" in that their worship services are more formal and follow a standardized liturgy. Lutheran tends to be more "main line" and "moderate" in their theology, but some lean to the "Reformed" side. But there are varieties of "Lutheran" just as the are varieties of "Baptist." Baptist churches began in England with two men who dissented from the Church of England forms of worship, which were too much like the Catholic teachings for some people. Two men in particular decided to worship on their own, separate from the Church of England. Their names were Smyth and Helways, and there is even is a publishing house with the name "Smyth & Helways." Baptists tend to be very independant as far as church hierarchy, Lutherians are organized "from the top down," Baptists are either not organized but independant, or their hierarchy is "bottom up," as the Southern Baptists are. If you are very interested in following this more completely, Rose Publishing has a very good chart in phamplet form for just a few bucks that will tell you what Lutherians, Baptists, and several other churches believe and practice.

Answer 5

I went to a Baptist church at least once. The minister was from Texas I believe he may have been originally Hispanic. He was talking about not mixing between different races. And many other annoying hell-fire things. He had asked me what I thought about his sermon. I said that I could hear him very well. He didn't bore me to sleep because he was so loud and forceful I guess you might say that they are more passionate in the way they deliver their sermons.I was raised and confirmed a Lutheran and I fell asleep most of the time. The girl I was with wasn't very effected by his sermon though. I guess she must have believed with all of her sinning she was way past redemption anyway.

Answer 6

Both Lutherans and Baptists are Protestant Christians and share much of the same beliefs. Trivial differences exist.

Lutherans tend to be more liturgical than Baptists. Major differences are historical and doctrinal differences minor.

Answer 7

The differences are numerous - both in origin and practice as well as belief. Whole books are written on the topic. The great news is they both believe in Jesus.
Lutherans are a sacramental church close to R.C./Orthodox/Anglican. They believe the sacraments represent actual commands from Jesus and that communion has Jesus physically in / around / through the elements.
Baptists are a "protester" church against the established church of about 3 centuries ago. They do not have sacraments, but rather rites. They center their faith in large part around the format of baptism - immersion.
I've been baptized both ways. In a freezing lake even - and by Lutheran pastors. I am a Lutheran pastor and have baptized others both ways. I've come to the conclusion that God is more concerned with our heart/love/faith than rather or not we have taken a shower or a bath.

Answer 8

Lutherans and Baptists are Christian and come out of two different strains of the Protestant reformation.

Answer 9

First of all they are both Christian denominations. The biggest differences between the two are doctrinal. They have slightly different views about things such as Baptism (mainly the method and when it acceptable to do it) and the Lord's Supper. But they both believe that we are justified by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

A Baptist is someone who beleivse in baptism by full immersion while Lutheran was by a man named Martin Luther (not King).
Martin had different beleifs than the Catholic Church, such as justification by faith (going to heaven or w/e depending on how much your faith is in god). His ideas also contributed to the Reformation.

Basically, they just have different beleifs.

Answer 11

The biggest difference is that you spelled Baptist correctly, but not Lutheran.
