The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 (Various)

Description

Put forth by the elders and brethren of many congregations of Christians (baptized upon profession of their faith) in London and the country.

With the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, Rom.10:10.

This Confession was first printed in London for Benjamin Harris, 'to be sold at his shop at the Stationers Arms in Sweetings Rents, in Cornhill, near the Royal Exchange, 1677.' Only minor alterations to spelling, punctuation and proof texts have been made by the editors of this Pocket Puritan gift edition.
