The
Second
London Confession is also known as the
Assembly Confession and the Baptist Confession of Faith
of 1689. It was modeled after the Westminster Confession
of 1647 and modified with additions from the Savoy Deceleration
of 1658 and the First London Baptist Confession of 1689.
To learn
more about this great confession, read A Modern Exposition
of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith by Samuel
E. Waldron.
"This
ancient document is the most excellent epitome of the things
most surely believed among us. It is not issued as an authoritative
rule or code of faith, whereby you may be fettered, but
as a means of edification in righteousness. It is an excellent,
though not inspired, expression of the teaching of those
Holy Scriptures by which all confessions are to be measured.
We hold to the humbling truths of God's sovereign grace
in the salvation of lost sinners. Salvation is through Christ
alone and by faith alone." C.H.
Spurgeon
