What I mean by that is rules, rites and rituals. LDS place their faith in ‘a church’ not Jesus.

I attend church, I read my Bible, I minister to others, I’ve even taught Sunday School. To many I would seem ‘religious’, but my faith is in Christ, not a denomination to save me.

I am a Lutheran pastor. I am very much in favor of organized religion. I do rites and rituals. I follow the historic liturgy and church year of the Christian church. I wear vestments. I chant. I am sacramental. I am a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. And my faith is in Christ to save me. And I do all those other things BECAUSE my faith is in Christ, not in place of it.
