Yes, Martin Luther believed in the concept of "sacramental union," which holds that the body and blood of Christ are truly present "in, with, and under" the forms of bread and wine in the Eucharist. He rejected the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, asserting instead that Christ's presence is real and substantial, but not a literal transformation of the elements. For Luther, the bread and wine coexist with the true body and blood of Christ during Communion.
No, Martin Luther did not believe in transubstantiation. He rejected the Catholic doctrine that the bread and wine in the Eucharist physically transform into the body and blood of Christ. Instead, he believed in the concept of consubstantiation, where the body and blood of Christ coexist with the bread and wine.
Martin Luther believed that the body and blood of Christ really was present in the bread and wine of the sacrament.
Martin Luther believed in consubstantiation, also known as sacramental union, because he interpreted the Bible to teach that in the Eucharist, the bread and wine coexist with the body and blood of Christ. Luther rejected the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that the bread and wine are transformed into the literal body and blood of Christ.
Answer: Some Lutherans believe that Christ remains present in the Eucharist so long as the assembly is gathered. In other words, once the congregation has left, Christ is no longer present in the consecrated bread and wine. Other (more traditional, Catholic-leaning) Lutherans believe that Christ remains present after the congregation leaves and even reserve the Eucharist (as do Catholics and Orthodox) to be taken to those who are homebound. Catholics believe that Christ is present when the congregation leaves, and the Eucharist is treated with great reverence. The Catholic Church teaches that the presence of Christ remains so long as the consecrated bread remains bread; once it has deteriorated Christ is no longer present.
No. While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do partake of blessed bread and water each week at Sunday services in commemoration of the Lord's supper, they do not believe in the doctrine of transubstatiation. That is, they do not believe that Jesus is physically present in the emblems. The bread and water are viewed as symbols of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ only.
Yes. Luther taught that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the path to salvation. However he also belived by "Faith alone, by Grace alone, by Christ alone- there lies our Salvation. Lutheran's also believe that Christ's Sacraments- Baptism and Holy Communion are a "Means of Grace"- where Jesus Christ is attached through Water, Bread and Wine-The True Body and Blood of our Lord.
It means that, after the words of consecration are pronounced the ENTIRE substance of the bread and wine is gone and Our Blessed Lord, Body and Soul, Humanity and Divinity, is now present in His Risen State. Only the appearance of Bread and Wine remain, the reality is that it is entirely and remains entirely God.

Consubstantiation is Martin Luther's view that Christ is present along side the bread and wine for the duration of the service, but that He leaves, and it is purely bread and wine again after the service is over. During the service, not only is Christ present, but the bread and wine are still there. The concept is completely opposed to the Catholic view, which is transubstantiation.

Yes. And, Lutherans do not dogmatize how the real presence happens as do Roman Catholics in their doctrine of Transubstantiation. That presence is left a mystery and Jesus' words are taken at face value. "This BREAD is my BODY..." According to formal Lutheran doctrine, the bread is there and so with it is the true body of Christ. Roman Catholics say that the bread is not there and is referred to as an "accident." Martin Luther used the formula "in, with and under." The body and blood are received in, with and under the elements of bread and wine. Communion, in Lutheran ideology, is type/antitpe of the incarnation. The divine is made tangible just as happens in Jesus. He is God, but can be seen and touched and sensed in common, earthly form.
