The London Baptist Confession of 1689

Why a confession? What is the benefit? A Christian confession is an agreed upon understanding/interpretation of something that is considered vital to the Christian faith. For centuries Christians have found such agreements to be a vital help in discipleship. In the introduction to this printing of the London Baptist Confession of 1689, Patrick Abendroth highlights the benefits of this historic Protestant confession. Charles H. Spurgeon viewed the London Baptist Confession as the most valuable tool to complement his preaching of the Bible in helping believers entrusted to his care. A century and a half later, Patrick Abendroth finds his pastor's heart sharing these convictions. The faith that has been once and for all delivered to the saints is expressed and summarized in unrivaled excellence in this confession.
