What did Martin Luther believe in?

Answer 1

Martin Luther believed that Christians are saved by faith alone in Christ alone.

Answer 2

• Salvation was gained through faith alone.
• The Bible was the sole source of religious truth.
• The idea that priests or the Church had special powers was rejected. All Christians had equal access to God through faith and the Bible. Luther translated the Bible into the German vernacular so ordinary people could study it.
• Lutherans rejected five of the seven sacraments because the Bible did not mention them: the sale of indulgences, confession, pilgrimages, prayers to saints, and the elaborate ritual of the Catholic mass.
• The sermon was emphasized instead of the ritual of the Catholic mass.
• Clergy were permitted to marry.

Answer 3

Martin Luther mainly believed that there should be no papal authority or Catholic Mass.
