THE MARK OF THE TRUE CHURCH
Anglo Lutheran Catholic Fellowship In America
Believes that the true Church exists where the holy Gospel is taught and preached in its truth and purity, and where the Holy Sacraments are rightly administered. Church bodies where this does not occur are heterodox bodies and cannot be considered a reflection of the true Church, even though true believers may exist within them. It must be the responsibility of every true believer to seek membership in a church body that is orthodox in its doctrine and practice. When a believer recognizes that a church body is heterodox, it is his Christian duty to leave such a body.
