Martin Luther: Rediscovering Grace and Turning the World Upside Down

It's hard to call Lutheranism Christianity. It's Catholic-lite. They still teach salvation by infant baptism and works. I grew up in a Lutheran church. I would know.

Yeah. Personally not a fan of infant baptism either. That's in interesting take. I find that surprising as I've always heard that Lutheran churches emphasize salvation through faith alone (perhaps to a fault). But there is a liturgical flavour which might be associated with works and religiosity. May I ask what your theological leaning is now?

Also, the figure of "900 Million Christians" that I used is based on the number of protestants world wide. Of course, this figure does include the Millions who claim to be Christians but are not.
