Lutherans worship more traditionally with Hymns and they follow a calendar set by The Bible. Kind of how most Americans celebrate Christmas and Easter, Lutherans have several events they follow throughout the year that come directly from the scripture.
Note: Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran does differ from other Lutheran divisions such as the Missouri Synod
Assemblies of God teach that faith is a condition of salvation rather than teaching that faith is the way God has chosen for us to receive salvation. The implication is that an unconverted, sinful human being must "decide" for Christ. The Wisconsin Synod teaches that people by nature are dead in their transgressions and sin and therefore have no ability to decide of Christ (Ephesians 2:1,5). We do not choose Christ, rather he chose us (John 15:16). We believe that human beings are purely passive in conversion.
Assemblies of God teach that Baptism and Holy Communion are ordinances whereby Christians declare to the world that they have died with Christ and share in the divine nature. They do not believe that the sacraments are means of grace through which the Holy Spirit works to create or strengthen faith. They deny the real presence in the Lord's Supper. They insist that the only legitimate way to perform Baptism is by immersion. The Wisconsin Synod teaches that Baptism and the Lord's Supper are means of grace through which the Holy Spirit works to create or strengthen faith (Titus 3:4-7, John 3:5-6, 1 Peter 3:21, Matthew 26:26-28). We believe that Christ's true body and blood are truly present in the Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:26-28, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29). The Bible does not mandate the mode of baptism. The water can be applied in the name of the Triune God by sprinkling, pouring, immersion, or submersion.
The Assemblies of God are premillennialist. They believe that Christ will return and reign physically, visibly, and politically for 1,000 years on earth. The Wisconsin Synod rejects the teaching that Jesus will return to establish a political reign here on earth (John 18:36, Romans 14:17, Colossians 1:13-14).
Assemblies of God are a perfectionist church body. According to the official Web site of the Assemblies of God, they believe that "by the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command: 'Be ye holy, for I am holy.' " Holiness/perfectionist church bodies often seem to make rules where God hasn't and to call things sinful which God has not forbidden. For example, some congregations have determined that dancing is inherently sinful and therefore forbid it. The Wisconsin Synod teaches that although we will strive for Christian perfection, we will not attain it in this life (Romans 7:14-25, Philippians 3:12). We are careful not to call things sinful which God has not called sinful (1 Corinthians 10:23-33, Romans 14:1-23).
The Assemblies of God believe that every believer is entitled to "baptism in the Holy Spirit" (an experience separate from water baptism) with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. They also practice faith healing. They teach that such "divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers." The Wisconsin Synod does not teach a "baptism in the Holy Spirit" separate from and subsequent to water baptism. We do not see speaking in tongues and faith healing as normative for Christians today.

The synods of the Lutheran Church represent different regions of the country. Each synod may have different doctrines, as well.

The Lutheran Reformation kept two of the seven doctrines of the Catholic church; The Lord's Supper and Baptism. Luther also reorganized the church service by replacing The Mass with vernacular liturgy.
There is a Lutheran Church and a Catholic Church but no Lutheran Catholic Church.
Nearly every doctrinal difference between the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox Churches stem from two factors. 1. The Lutheran Church is a catholic, or western Church which shares its roots with the Roman Catholic Church. The forefathers of the modern Orthodox and the forefathers of the modern Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches underwent the "Great Schism" in the first millennium over Trinitarian doctrine and 2. The Orthodox uphold Apostolic Tradition as a separate means of Church authority, while the Lutheran Church only accepts those tenets of Church Tradition which are upheld by the authority of the Canonical Scriptures. Both are liturgical, historic, sacramentarian Churches. During the Lutheran Reformation, there was much dialogue between the Greek Orthodox and Lutheran theologians as many of their grievances with Roman Catholicism are the same. There were some small, political and doctrinal issues which prevented any formal declaration of union or fellowship. Dialogue continues, and many of the differences between these two historic Churches are simply cultural.
