«Methodist Beliefs: In what ways are Lutherans different from United Methodists?», Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. 2014. Arkivert fra originalen den 22. mai 2014. Sitat: «The United Methodists see Scripture as the primary source and criterion for Christian doctrine. They emphasize the importance of tradition, experience, and reason for Christian doctrine. Lutherans teach that the Bible is the sole source for Christian doctrine. The truths of Scripture do not need to be authenticated by tradition, human experience, or reason. Scripture is self authenticating and is true in and of itself.»
