1. _Let it be your earnest concern to be and remain a member of the
invisible Church of Christ; remain steadfast in the true faith. He that
believes, and He only, shall be saved._
2. _Let it also be your earnest concern to belong to the true visible
Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church. In this Church the pure Word is
preached, the Gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation. Avoid
all false churches. "Beware of false prophets!"_
3. _Pray and work with all diligence for your Church that it may be
maintained and extended._ Matt. 28,19.
