It is a revision of the earlier London Baptist Confession of Faith from 1689, reflecting the beliefs of Baptist churches in America. The confession outlines core Christian doctrines, emphasizing the authority of the Bible, the nature of God, and the role of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. This document serves as a guide for Baptist congregations, promoting unity and doctrinal consistency among its members.
