Today I'm converting to Methodist at Shern En Church. I was formally from Lutheran Church. Anyhow, i still serve the same Lord! :)
Here's the history about Lutheran & Methodist :-
Lutheranism is a major branch of Protestant Christianity which follows the teachings of the sixteenth-century German reformer Martin Luther. Luther's efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Church launched the Protestant Reformation and, though it was not his intention, left Western Christianity divided.
The split between Lutherans and the Roman Catholic Church arose mainly over the doctrine of justification before God. Specifically, Lutheranism advocates a doctrine of justification "by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone," distinct from the Roman Catholic view. Lutheran theology differs considerably from Reformed theology in its understanding of divine grace and predestination to eternity after death.
The first Methodist clergy were ordained by John Wesley, a minister in the Church of England, because of the crisis caused by the American Revolution which cut the Methodists in the States off from the Church of England and its sacraments. The Methodist church has allowed ordination of women with full rights since 1956, the first mainstream Christian denomination to do so.
