The Online Community similar to Facebook, My Space


Another blogger I visit mentioned about The Wittenberg Trail, Online Lutheran Community This community was created for:
* Non-Christians seriously investigating Christianity
* Christians from other denominations exploring the Lutheran faith
* New Lutheran converts
* Lutheran pastors
* Life-long Lutherans

So, I joined under "Jim". So I can learn more about Lutheranism. Lutherans are a sometimes neglected group of evangelicals, since they lie somewhere in between Arminianism and Calvinism in their view of divine sovereignty, and embrace neither dispensationalism nor covenant theology in their understanding how the Old and New Testaments relate to one another. Their liturgical worship and their understanding of baptism and the Lord's Supper bear some resemblance to Catholic practice, but their doctrine of salvation is emphatically Protestant. Ultimately, Lutheranism is best understood on its own terms rather than by comparison to other systems. True Lutherans confess the true faith of the Holy catholic (universal) and apostolic church that has always existed whether it was called Israel or Christian (first at Antioch).
