I removed the attribution to Luther defining sacraments, because the source cited is not Luther's writing. The explanation was added years later and reflects interpretation at the time and not what Luther actually wrote on the subject.
I added the historic Lutheran understanding from the Augsburg Apology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jblawson01 ( talk • contribs) 18:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Shark96z has noted in the article that the general confession in the beginning of the Eucharistic service is different from the holy absolution, which should be always private. This is not quite as straightforward as he implies. At least in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland gives a holy absolution as one version for the declaration of grace (See texts for the eucharistic and non-eucharistic services (p. 191, texts 7 and 9):
which translates as: Jesus says: "My friend, be with courageous mind, your sins are forgive". As his servant I declare unto you this absolution in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. In my experience, some priests prefer to use the holy absolution while others use a declaration of grace. And the Finnish evangelical-lutherans teach that this form of confession is indeed a full and complete confession. (eg. the official site of the "rukoilevaisuus" movement and SLEY, another Lutheran revival movement, Oulunkylä parish, Masku parish). This is also mirrored in the Augsburgian confession, which states that among the Lutheran parishes, no one is allowed to the eucharist without confession. -- MPorciusCato ( talk) 20:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
"In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for His sake God forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in Jesus Christ He gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit. May the Lord, who has begun this good work in us, bring it to completion in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
