"8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." II Timothy 1: 8-10
A confession is a written statement of beliefs that are important not only for you to know what you believe and why you believe it, but is crucial to our teaching new believers and passing the true faith on to our children. Our beliefs are taken from the New Hampshire Confession of 1833, being in harmony with the doctrines of older confessions (1644 London, 1689 London, & 1742 Philadelphia ), this stream of historic Baptist teachings are essential in safe guarding our discipleship and protecting our doctrine.
