1 | 1689 Confession 1st or second? | NT general | justme | 242540 | ||
I have heard and read some mention about "THE LONDON BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH" of 1689. When I looked it up, there is a second confession of the 1689 as well. I looked for a complete Confession to print from the web site. However what I found was a huge number of sections. Is there a place that has the confession where it can be printed? Is there a short summary version of the Confession? Thanks, justme |

2 | 1689 Confession 1st or second? | NT general | DocTrinsograce | 242541 | ||
Hi, Justme... It is a little odd how the old Baptist Confessions are designated. However, this might be helpful to you: The 1646 London Baptist Confession (slightly revised from the 1644 version) is generally called the First London Baptist Confession. The 1689 London Baptist Confession (somewhat revised from the 1677 version) is generally called the Second London Baptist Confession. You can find the 1689 here:: http://nordkirken.dk/media/pdf/baptistconfession1689.pdf That should provide a more "printable" form. But notice that it is a PDF document. As you read it, recognize that the old divines were very logical. Every chapter is built on the foundation of the previous chapters. Every paragraph is built on the foundation of the previous paragraphs. This is intentional. The confession is almost organized like a mathematics proof. Nonetheless it is still some 25 pages in length. Like a math equation, summaries will tend to make the thing fall apart. In Reformed Baptist churches we often have classes on the confession. Many families use it to catechize/educate their children. I use it in my own life as a devotional. If you like, here is a tabular comparison of the 1646 Westminster Confession, the 1658 Savoy Declaration of Faith, and the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. http://www.proginosko.com/docs/wcf_sdfo_lbcf.html If you have any questions, let me know. I spent three years in seminary focused on the confession and the history from which it arose. In Him, Doc |
