Lutheranism
Man
· The doctrine of man is presented under two aspects. 1) Man is God’s creation, 2) Since the fall man is totally corrupt (sinful) and unable to contribute towards His salvation. (Genesis 1-3, Romans 5)
Man is dead in sin. (Colossians 2:13) Man doesn’t have free will. (1 Cor. 2:14; AC XVIII)
UMC
Man
· Man is God’s creation, but he is not totally corrupt. Man is therefore able to reject and accept salvation. Man is free to choose God.
Man works with God to bring about a state of “holiness” which enables one to be saved.
