Does God have to make sense to believe Him?

I believe that I have figured out the cornerstone issue that divides Baptists/evangelicals and Lutherans.

Baptists and evangelicals believe that the plan of salvation, the Bible, and therefore God, must make sense in order to believe literally what God says.  Lutherans, on the other hand, do not believe that God needs to make sense or conform to human reason and logic before what He says can be believed literally.

Here is an example:  If the Bible says "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" and in another verse it says, "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved", the Baptist will say that a contradiction exists in the literal interpretation of both of these verses.  Therefore, one verse must be believed literally, and one must be read figuratively or re-interpreted by the verse chosen to be read literally.

"You cannot be saved when you believe and be saved when you believe and are baptized," says the Baptist/evangelical.

"But if God says both, why not just believe both!" says the Lutheran.  "The one verse does not need to be re-interpreted or clarified just so that the two verses will be compatible to the human mind."

If Baptists and evangelicals could realize that God is not confined to man's logic and reason, I believe that they could then see that the Lutheran positions on salvation/justification, baptism, and the Lord's Supper are the literal Word of God!
