Martin Luther

Hi, Pastor John.

I watched a Netflix movie about Martin Luther. Though dramatized, I liked how it showed the basic history of the Roman Church. In one part it shows Martin Luther with a young Lad holding a translation of the scriptures (I assume) in German. Did Martin Luther translate the bible from Greek into German as depicted? Is there any evidence with what we know about him that he received the holy Ghost?

Thank you,

Billy

Hi Billy,

Yes, Martin Luther translated the Scriptures into German.  And he may have received the baptism of the holy Ghost, but that is unclear.  He did write a song (“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”) in which he said, “the Spirit and the gifts are ours”.  So, if that was true, he did receive it.  We’ll find out everything in the end about all things, including Martin Luther.
