Religious Fanatic , Nov 6, They are very similar, so much so that I think the only major difference between Confessional Lutheran theology and Formulaic Anglican theology is Eucharistic theology. Luther insists that the presence is physical, but indiscernible in any physical way, but Anglicans say it is heavenly and spiritual. The difference seems to not really matter but Luther definitely figured it did.
PotterMcKinney , Nov 6, Lutheranism teaches the same unconditional election that Calvinism teaches albeit with nuances.
Anglicans are not confessionally bound to such teaching, and many have been Arminians, or have held to Roman Catholic or Orthodox soteriological models. Anglicanism has no dogmatic Eucharistic theology, and the Lutheran Sacramental Union position has been held by a number of Anglicans.
Peteprint , Nov 6, The belief that God, before the creation of the world, arbitrarily not based on anything the individual would do in the future decided who to save and who to pass over. This belief derives from St. Augustine and was further developed by Luther and Calvin.
Arminians, Roman Catholics, and the Orthodox, believe that salvation is conditional, that each individual has the opportunity to accept or reject the Gospel. This belief emphasizes the importance of a person's free will. Unconditional election is monergistic, the belief that man has no role to play in his salvation. Conditional election is synergistic, the belief that man cooperates with God in the salvation process.
The Lambeth Articles and the Westminster Confession teach unconditional election, and neither were adopted by the Church of England. Botolph , Nov 6, Lowly Layman and PotterMcKinney like this.

I have long thought it is fairly obvious which portions were primarily the work of Melancthon, which were Luthers, and then the "Formula" and "Epitome of the Formula" from a much later date. However, the Lutheran formularies do not represent the carefully balanced ambiguity so cleverly written into the 39 Articles.
They are thus not open to as broad an interpretive perspective. Those portions written by Luther himself are especially blunt at times, and give little space for private interpretation. Lutheran theology is heavily colored by the difficulty that Luther was a highly unstable person. Melancthon tried to temper and sometimes foil this flaw of Luther's personality but as the movement advanced, Melancthon was marginalized for his ecumenical pursuits.
Anglicanism follows a distinct church structure and people belonging to it believe in different worship practices from that of Lutheranism. Lutheran The word Lutheran can be used for any person or an entity church, organization that adheres to Lutheranism - a form of Christianity founded by Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a reformer from Germany and an avid follower of religion. Luther disseminated the teachings and messages of Roman Catholic Church widely and gained popularity among Christians in countries like Germany, France, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark.
Luther sought to reform the theology and his work and dedication helped him introduce Protestant Reformation. Due to the efforts of Martin Luther, the protestant communities and churches soon adopted the word Lutheranism for their worship practices and theology.
The sect however went further with its ideology and soon adopted Athanisian Creed, Formula of Concord and Augsburg Confession as well. They believe that the holy book is the source of gaining forgiveness and faith is the gift of salvation. Lutheranism has spread through North America, Russia, Scandinavia, and other countries. There are millions of Lutherans present worldwide. They also follow the holy book, Apocrypha, articles of religion, and other books of common prayer.
Martin Luther, a Christian monk, read the bible and found that Roman Catholic churches are spreading wrong information and practicing the selling of forgiveness and salvation to the Christians. He wrote 95 theses to describe the practices of catholic churches. He argued the churches are selling forgiveness and punishing the people for their sins. According to Luther, there is no need for churches and popes to gain forgiveness from god. The Holy book is enough to connect and seek forgiveness from god.
He translated the holy bible into various languages so that people can read by themselves and understand Christianity. In this German reformation movement, the Christians were divided into Lutheran groups lead by Martin Luther. According to Luther, people who have faith in Jesus follow the right way, and others go on the wrong path.
A sinner can connect to god directly to seek forgiveness. Lutheran prays using the rosary similar to Roman Catholics.
