Luther’s Doctrine • Sacraments: Only those in scripture • Eucharist: Consubstantiation • Authority: Scirpture • Salvation: Faith Alone • Sola fide, sola scriptura • The priesthood of all believers
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of god—not by works, so that no one can boast. Romans 1:17 For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
“Unless I am convinced by the evidence of Scripture or by plain reason—for I do not accept the authority of the Pope or councils alone, since it is established that they have often erred and contradicted themselves—I am bound by the Scriptures I have cited and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. God help me. Amen.” -Luther at the Diet of Worms, 1521
