The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith preceded the Philidelphia Confession by only 54 years, but it was the most popular among Calvinistic Baptists in that time period. Charles Spurgeon had a seventh edition printed in 1855 and said "We need a banner because of the truth; it may be that this small volume may aid the cause of the glorious gospel by testifying plainly what are its leading doctrines."
Many of us who are not shy to proclaim our belief in the wonderful doctrines of grace find ourselves gravitating toward others who subscribe to the 1689 Baptist Confession. It is truly my hope that it will be the one instrument next to God's Word that breaks down walls and brings together churches of diverse associations.
