The American Association of Lutheran Churches

The American Association of Lutheran Churches The AALC is a Lutheran Church body standing firmly upon the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions and proclaiming the Gospel to all nations. b.

CONFESSION OF FAITH

The American Association of Lutheran Churches accepts all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as a whole and in all their parts as the divinely inspired, revealed, and inerrant Word of God, and submits to this as the only infallible authority in all matters of faith and life. As brief and true statements of the doctrines of the Word of God, this Church accepts

and confesses the following Symbols, subscription to which shall be required of all its members, both congregations and individuals:
a. The ancient ecumenical Creeds: the Apostolic, the Nicene, and the Athanasian. The unaltered Augsburg Confession and Luther’s Small Catechism. As further elaboration of and in accord with these Lutheran Symbols, this Church also receives the other documents in the Book of Concord of 1580: the Apology, Luther’s Large Catechism, the Smalcald Articles, and the Formula of Concord; and recognizes them as normative for its theology. The American Association of Lutheran Churches accepts without reservation the symbolical books of the evangelical Lutheran church, not insofar as but because they are the presentation and explanation of the puredoctrine of the Word of God and a summary of the faith of the evangelical Lutheran Church.

We are caught off guard when we do not know our faith well. To truly be conversant in the faith is not only to know the Scriptures and the catechisms inside and out but also to be aware of the criticisms of the faith and have thoughtful responses to them.
