Lutheranisme: Perbezaan antara semakan

 

Gereja ini banyak ditemui dengan jutaan penganut (diberi nama '''Luteran''') di serata dunia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lutheran.org.nz/about-us/|title=About Us|work=Lutheran Church of New Zealand|accessdate=5 March 2015}} However, some Lutherans disagree with the way the Lutheran World Federation arrives at this number, as millions of them actually come from bodies that are largely Reformed, but include some Lutherans.
