Martin Luther was the leader of the Christian Reformation, that is he started the rebellion against the Roman Catholic church because of what the chatholic church was doing to the people, selling pentances and so forth making them think that the more money they gave for forgiviness of a sin that God would surley forgive them of that sin and they would go to heaven and it would keep them out of hell. The people at that time started calling them selves Lutherans that followed new beliefs of Martin Luther and Martin Luther did not want that but he could not change the people so that is where the Lutheran got their name and where the church got started. Martin Luther aso and formost found in the study of the word that God saves you through his word and that all you have to do is ask God to save you and come into your heart to go to Heaven. This is the biggest difference between the Catholic and the Prodestants today and that is what the Reformation is all about. That is where the name Prodestant came from the word Protest. Martin Luther protested against the Catholic church when he placed his Theses on the door at Worms.

What church was created in Martin Luthers name?
Whether Luther actually nailed his theses to the door, or whether he sent them out to specific bishops and priests has not been conclusively determined. It certainly would make sense for him to have nailed it, since church doors acted like public bulletin boards. Luther is said to have nailed his theses on the door to the chapel of the castle of Wittenburg. The place can be visited to this day, although the door is certainly not the original.
