The Conference accepts the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as the
verbally inspired and inerrant Word of God and submits to this Word of God as
the only infallible rule and authority in all matters of doctrine, faith, and
life. The Conference also accepts the Confessions of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580, not in so far as, but
because they are a correct exposition of the pure doctrine of the Word of God.
