Endorsements

For various reasons – theological, doxological, ecclesiastical and now even legal/political – churches need thorough, historic and orthodox confessions of faith. The London Confession should be the one to which Reformed Baptists look for all of these. Hopefully this modern version will help maintain and enhance its usefulness for a new generation.

With the help of the Holy Spirit and the faith and love of those before us, the good deposit continues to
get passed down from generation to generation. Lord willing, this modern confession will help churches articulate their faith and guard it as others did before them.

In the seventeenth century, Baptist churches of Reformed convictions were not afraid to explain their faith for the benefit of fellow-believers and for others. This version of the 1646 confession, changed only in points of expression, will serve the same Christian purpose in the twenty-first century.

Creeds and confessions are an essential means to maintain, teach, and transmit the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. Modern saints are certainly enriched by the reprint of this first Particular Baptist Confession.

One of the most classic and doctrinally rich Baptist confessions of faith has been made accessible for this and coming generations.
