What We Believe (True/False)

I was thinking the other day about what we Lutherans believe. I don't mean what we believe as a church, but rather what we as individual Lutherans believe. My interest was sparked by an article I read which boiled down to, "over half of Lutherans asked did not believe what the Lutheran Church believed".

Here's a little test device. You can check yourself out. Answer the following True or False.

1. There are many religions in the world. Most of them lead to the same God.
