Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we knowingly choose to be disciples of Christ and confirm our faith publicly as members of His church. One becomes a member of the Lutheran Church in three ways, Transfer from another Lutheran Church, Baptism for adults after instruction, for children as infants, and Affirmation of Faith, person already baptized and confirmed in a Christian church - in all cases the person publicly promises to be faithful and loyal to Christ and to live a Christian life. Jesus commands us to care for one another and the world around us, to come together and worship often, and raise up children in faith. We witness our faith best by speaking words of encourage, counsel and advice to one another and those around us and sharing God's written word as the norm and authority for every aspect of Christian living. We witness best by example -living a life of love and service to others.
