Spurgeon's London Confession of Faith, 23 Jun 2004
By Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689: Or, the Second London Confession with Scripture Proofs (Paperback)
The 1689 London Confession of Faith (or Baptist Confession of Faith) was the doctrinal position held by Charles Spurgeon and his Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England. The confession is not very long and Peter Master's has edited this edition with Scriptural proofs of the various doctrinal positions taken by the Confession.
Anyone who enjoys reading and studying the works of Charles Spurgeon will enjoy reading this confession. I would also urge the reader to look up the various Scriptures that Master's provides for the confession.

Excellent and timeless, 15 Jan 2010
By Calvin W. Fergins "Maverick Historic Theologian" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689: Or, the Second London Confession with Scripture Proofs (Paperback)
This Confession of the Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists of England is a masterpiece of concise and systematic theology. This edition is slightly updated for better understand with some small notes as to the meaning of some of the phrases and words employed by the Confession. This is testament to the fact that Baptists, especially Calvinistic ones, have always been a Confessional people. The Doctrines of Grace as laid out in an easy to understand manner as is the complete inerrancy of Scripture and the closing of the Canon of Scripture. Other Baptist distinctives are covered such as Believer's Baptism, The Lord's Supper, Civil Government, and Church Government.
Excellent resource for the laity and clergy, whether Calvinist or not.

Confessions, 13 Feb 2009
By Wendy Johnson "book junkie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689: Or, the Second London Confession with Scripture Proofs (Paperback)
The Bapist Confession of Faith is the easiest to read and share with others. This book is small enough to carry with your bible. It contains the key elements of The Westiminster Confession and the Heidelburg confession. It contains scripture references. A must have for those who want a compact Confession to refer to and share with others.
