The "Baptist Confession" refers to a series of doctrinal statements that outline the beliefs and practices of the Baptist denomination. The most notable is the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, which articulates key theological principles such as the authority of Scripture, the nature of God, and the importance of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. These confessions serve as a guide for Baptist churches and help maintain unity in doctrine among congregations. They address various topics, including the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, church governance, and the role of grace in the life of believers.
