Excerpt from History of the Springfield Baptist Association: With Sketches of the Churches of Which It Is Composed and Biographical Sketches of Deceased MinistersThe impetus given by reports from the foreign field is traceable in the early work of the Association, within its own bounds. The record made by the fathers of forty years ago, shows that whatever elements of weakness were peculiar to the churches, they also had elements of strength, they earnestly contended for the faith once delivered to the Saints, as they understood it. -they were sturdy Baptists. They believed something and they did not seek to conceal that faith under any pretentious form of liberality. They were persuaded that they held God's truth and were always ready to declare it. The summary OF principles which they adopted as their Confession of Faith was, as will be seen, brief and imperfect, yet it served to iden tifiy them with the great Baptist family, which was enrolled under the Confession of the seven churches in England, in 1643, and the later and more complete Confession of 1689, which, with emendations, subsequently became known as the Philadelphia Confession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
