While all Lutheran synods world-wide officially uphold the real presence in the sacrament of the altar, the attitude if some lay parishoners regarding communion is somewhat ambivalent. All well-taught Lutherans believe in a (real presence) of the communion species. A minority of laity, inluenced by other protestant churches, have more or less a (commemorative stamp) angle. Roman Catholics call the Lutheran doctrine on the real presence consubstantiation (one and being in substance) to differentiate from their own transubstantiation. However, Lutherans do not try to dogmatize how Jesus is truly present in the bread and wine as Roman Catholics do, but take Jesus' words (this BREAD is my BODY, this WINE is.... my BLOOD) at face value and allow the "how" to remain a divine mystery as Jesus did.
There are many beliefs which are not consistent with the Lutheran Church, such as jihad or meditation as prescribed by Buddha. However, within the Christian school of thought, there are several. Free Will, for instance, is not upheld by Lutherans; nor is the millennial reign of Christ.
