1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Utilities
SECOND LONDON BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH FOR WINDOWS
by Mark Smith (U. of Sydney)
Zipped 1689 Baptist Confession [41kb]
London Baptist Confession of Faith Help, Mr M. Smith
This Windows Help version of the London Baptist Confession of Faith is intended as a study tool for anyone interested in the study of this church record dating from 1689. The Confession was primarily designed as a statement of the governing principles, doctrine, and beliefs of the 17th century Christian Church. This Help file version can be quite useful as a way for contemporary churches to compare their present doctrine and dogma to that practiced over 300 years ago. It is well organized and makes liberal use of hypertext links to scriptural references and other parts of the document. It includes all 32 chapters, with scriptural references and appendix materials found in the original document.

BCF Assistant:
The BCF Assistant is an extended version of BCFHelp, some of the additional features include:
Original 1677 Confession text.
The opening letter to "the Judicious and Impartial Reader" from the 1677 text.
The Appendix to the 1677 text in which the authors defend their Baptistic Principles and Convictions.
Chapter Outlines taken from Samuel E. Waldron's book, A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, (Evangelical Press, 1989).
A section on the Doctrine and Theology of the Confession (various authors included Pastors Sam Waldron and Greg Nichols, Grand Rapids, MI, USA).
A section outlining some of the Historical Background of the Confession and how it came to be, including some biographical information on some of those who were signatories to the Confession in 1689. This section principally comes from Dr James Renihan (Institute for Reformed Baptist Studies, Escondido, CA, USA.).
