The distinction between law and gospel is a hermeneutical touchstone

Those who advocate the ordination of men and women and have formulated the Resolutions put forward by St Peters believe that these Resolutions are in harmony with The Augsburg Confession Articles IV, V and VI. They also emphasize the connection between the work of the Holy Trinity and the office of the ministry. They distinguish between Law and Gospel when applying 1 Cor 14:33b-38 and 1 Tim 2: 11-14 to the life of the LCA and do so in the light of the doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. They propose nothing at all that is contrary to the Lutheran Confessions. They are also respectful of the LCA Constitutional processes which are synodical.
