The following are the study questions for the first part of our study of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 (LBC1689) at Murrieta Valley Church:
Background, History
- Why are Creeds and Confessions important? Why are they important in church history? Why are they important in one’s personal life?
- What was the Westminster Assembly and why was it important?
- Why is the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) so important?
- What is the general differences between the WCF, the Savoy Declaration 1658, and the LBC1689?
- Here is a link to a side-by-side comparison of the WCF and the LBC1689 to see the specific differences between the two.
