What is different compared to other churches?

10 “You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me. 11 I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior. Isaiah 43:10-11

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the world. 16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him. Col 1:16

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit justifies and saves us by the Work of the Son on the Cross.
“33bIt is God who justifies.” Rom 8:33b
“21…so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom 5:21
So, God is three Persons in one God. He has revealed Himself as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who together justifies man through the righteous act of the Son.

We will not ignore verses in the Bible because they convict us to turn away from our sinful nature. Such as key teachings of God found on topics such as Marriage (Matt 19:4) or not choosing to continue in sin.
We rely on God for the forgiveness of our sins through His Son, Jesus. We do not ask for permission to sin and offend our Lord.
We do not agree with preachers who pervert the Grace of God to make it into a permission to do what is evil. Rom 6:1-2,15 and Jude1:4
Instead, “9If we confess our sins, HE(God) is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9

Extra Nos is a Latin phrase that means “outside ourselves.” This refers to the fact that God’s Grace comes from outside of ourselves and is not something we earn.
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy. Rom 9:15-16

We teach that each Sacrament is indispensable to the others.

Baptism: 38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself. Acts 2:38-39

Confession and Absolution: 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.” John 20:22-23

Holy Communion: 23bthe Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread. 24 When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.” 25 In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 1Cor 11:23b-26

We teach the same as St. Paul taught in Scripture that there is righteousness that is earned by a person toward his/her fellow man and in doing what is right according to God’s Law. But this does not benefit that person toward God. “2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.” Rom 4:2
So then where does our righteousness before God come from? “21and being fully assured that what he (God) had promised, he was also able to perform. 22 Therefore it also was “credited to him (Abraham) for righteousness.’
Rom 4:21-22

And so, our righteousness and justification before God comes to us as a gift through faith. “24but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.” Rom 4:24-25

In Scripture and in our Lutheran Confessions we make a distinction between the laws of God and the Gospel of God. The Laws of God guide our lives and help us to recognize our need for forgiveness because we do not keep His Laws perfectly. The Gospel of God is that those sins are freely forgiven by God’s good, fatherly divine grace earned for us by His Son, Jesus.
