1689 Chapters 1 The Holy Scriptures, 2 God and the Holy Trinity, 3 God's Decree
Join us as we unpack the first 3 chapters of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. See the summaries of each section below that will be discussed.
Chapter 1 - The Holy Scriptures: The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are given by God’s inspiration. They are the sole and authoritative rule for saving knowledge, faith, and obedience.
Chapter 2 - God and the Holy Trinity: There is one God, infinite in perfections, who created, preserves, and rules all things.
God exists as Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit, distinct yet undivided.
Chapter 3 - God’s Decree: God’s eternal decree manifests His glory.
Some are predestined to eternal life, while others are left to their sin and condemnation.
