I'm removing the blurb about how Laestadians commonly have 10-15 children and get married young. It seems irrelevant and lacks a good source. Please feel free to re-add if you have a source for this.

This is a natural delusion from the fact they don't use contraception... Kahkonen 18:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not Exactly NPOV

The guideline of their faith is the Bible.

That pretty much covers any Christian denomination.

Laestadians emphasize a Christian lifestyle.

Again, how is this different from any other Christian denomination?

Laestadius met a Lappish woman named Milla Clementsdotter of Föllinge, during a 1844 inspection tour of Åsele, who narrated various biblical teachings to Laestadius. This was an important meeting for Laestadius, because after it, he first understood the secret of living faith.

This seems a little POV to me, particularly the reference to "the secret of living faith."

He received his sins forgiven

Not even sure what this means.

I'm not really familiar with this denomination, so I'm reluctant (Be Bold notwithstanding) to muck around with it, but it surely looks as though it could use a cleanup.
