1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith

This is my statement of faith, embodied in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. Doctrinally, it really only differs from the Westminster Confession in baptismal doctrine. Though it utilizes parallel and somewhat varied means of articulation, it essentially affirms the same thing as the Westminster standards.

There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied.
―B.H. Carroll

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
