1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith
The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith is a historic document that outlines the beliefs and practices of the Particular Baptist movement in England. It was adopted by a group of Baptist churches in 1689 and is based on earlier confessions, particularly the Westminster Confession of Faith. The document emphasizes key doctrines such as the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of believer's baptism.
This confession serves as a foundational text for many Baptist churches today, providing a framework for understanding Christian faith and practice. It addresses topics like salvation, the church, and the sacraments, reflecting the theological convictions of its authors and the broader Reformation context in which they lived.
