Crazy shit from ezekiel.

My family attended the Presbyterian church until I was 13 or so.  My father had attended seminary for a year there and was a lay preacher.   After that we attended the Lutheran church.  Lutheran have schismed and come in rather a few flavors from very evangelical to not so much.  We were not so much, certainly not Missouri synod who are essentially baptists with infant baptism and a liturgy.  The difference between the two, Presbyterian and Lutheran was primarily style.  The Presbyterians are more into a personal relationship with god, the Lutherans are more into worship services.

Thank you, I know little about the Lutherans, knew that the Presbyterians were some what like the Southern Baptist at least until the Presbyterians split.

What you don't know about protestants.  Luther versus Calvin was the first great protestant divide. The Presbyterians are mostly out of the Calvinist tradition and mostly a UK born sect, particularly Scottish.   They are not directly related to the Baptists and predate them by a good half century. Presbyterians and Baptists do share a largely Calvinist rather than Lutheran point of view.

 Lutherans, as you might gather for the name began with Martin Luther and started in Germany and spread through Austria and Scandinavia and only later into the U.S.
