Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessions of Faith: And Other Public Documents, Illustrative of the History of the Baptist Churches of England in the 17th Century To the Arminian, or General baptist class, belong the Confessions of 1611, 1660, and 1678. To the Calvinist, or Particular baptist class, belong the Confessions of 1646, 1656, and 1688. The confessions of this volume were not creeds, compulsorily imposed on the members or churches of the baptist body. Speaking strictly they were apologies, taking the form of confessions, or creeds, as the most convenient way of informing adversaries of the matter of their faith. No one was required or bound to subscribe to them, and if adopted by any church as the expression of its sentiments, all others were left free, and even a considerable latitude of judgment allowed in the bosom of the church itself. They originated in the false accusations, the calumnies, and misrepresentations of foes; they were not framed to procure unity among the churches that accepted them. They sought to reflect the existing harmony of sentiment, and the scriptural orthodoxy of the communities whose pastors signed them; they left the phantom of uniformity to the unavailing search of an establishment. The circumstances under which the refugees in Holland, from the tyranny of a state church, published the Confession of 1611, arc sufficiently detailed in the volume of Tracts on Liberty of Conscience.
