The AFLC and LCMS share several common Scriptural convictions: salvation in Christ alone, the inerrancy of Scripture, male-only pastors, the value of every human life, and conversion as being the work of the Holy Spirit. Yet, there are differences between them, which are manifested by the AFLC’s confessional subscription to only the Creed, Augsburg Confession, and Small Catechism. We pray for unity in the future, but also cling to the promises of God found in Scripture and clearly confessed in the entire Book of Concord.
Rev. Sam Wellumson, pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church, East Grand Forks, MN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to discuss the confessional subscription of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC).
