The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod accepts the Scriptures
as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and subscribes
unconditionally to all the symbolical books of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church as a true and unadulterated statement and
exposition of the Word of God. We accept the Confessions
because they are drawn from the Word of God and on that
account regard their doctrinal content as a true and binding
exposition of Holy Scripture and as authoritative for all
pastors, congregations and other rostered church workers
of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
