The members of the World Missions Committee of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations and its missionaries believe and confess the Holy Scriptures, the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, to be the Inspired Word of God, revealed for the salvation of men. They are the only infallible and inerrant source and rule of faith, doctrine and life for the Christian. The Committee and its missionaries also accept the Lutheran Church's Confession of Faith in the Apostolic, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, the unaltered Augsburg Confession and Luther's Small Catechism as correct expositions of the Word of God. All doctrinal instruction and action of this Committee and its missionaries shall conform therewith, and to that end the by-laws are promulgated in its Articles of Incorporation.
