I’ve never called myself a Baptist but after reading the 1689 confession of faith I agreed with everything in it so I suppose I was a Baptist all along without knowing it

Is this series somewhere else online? I'd like to listen to the entire series.

Thank you for posting this! I am about to start attending a Reformed Baptist Church and they adhere to the 1689 Confession and this is very helpful for me to know what I will be yoking with! Warm regards and many blessings!

It has been a wild ride from being born into Christina Science, pulled into the Jesus Movement, Confessions? I was completely closed to them and especially Calvin. Long road but 1689 has given me a framework to eliminated semi Pelagianism and doubt.

Super Solid Information, I love Voddie

The gaps have been filled. Thank you.

where can I get that 10 week course on the 1689?

I'm at least 3 steps behind on being able to retain this information

Voddie is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

It’s not Voddie , it’s God working through him to bring us to HIM

The Confessions, like sermons, are human interpretations. Their value is in how much they motivate us to read the original source, the Bible.

I love good audio. Can't have it all, I guess. :(

Where is the rest of the course?

1689 is perfect other than not including a section for marriage/divorce like the wcf is smart to include.

In the beginning he said that he agreed with 95% of the confession, only ones he had issue with were: Chap. 22: 7-8, 26: 4, 30: 3, 26: 9-10, Was he joking, and meant that it's better to be confessional than pick and choose and do your own thing?

He spoke about a prospective theology professor to the Christian university he leads and he read some of that person's letter wherein they detailed their exact points of disagreement. Not Voddie's disagreement, but rather the applying seminary graduate seeking a teaching position at Voddie's school.

Good video. But why create a new confession when we have the three creeds from the early church? Nicene, Apostles and Athanasian.

My grandfather was and my uncle is now a Baptist pastor. I’ve been taught from my youth that no man made creed should exist in any religion.God gave us His written word, (the Bible). If God thought we needed creeds he would have inspired one the 40 handpicked people that wrote the Bible to include it. God gave rules for the church leader’s and members and made it known that it is His house for His people. Anything added or taken away is not only unbiblical, but sinful.

@@lesliehiatt8959 you just said he was a “Baptist” pastor. So he has “confessed” that the believes in believers baptism as opposed to infant baptism, sprinkling vs submersion, etc. Once you confess what you believe the Bible is saying you are doing confession whether you write it down or not. Preaching is a confession of his beliefs is it not? Or does he just read the passage without comment?

Matthew Masiewicz yes I am baptist and have or had multiple family members that were/are all baptist pastor’s. Confession is one thing but those 3 creeds that so many Protestant churches signed with the Catholic Church are very wrong. The Catholic Church and their traditions have gradually crept into Protestant Church’s over a period of years. They have become the universal church looking to control them all. That’s why I said no creeds should exist, because their goal has never been to unify or say they believe the same way. Nothing could be further from the truth. God told us in Deuteronomy 12: 29-32 it is an abomination. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 He said us as Christian’s not to be unequally yolked with them, for what communion hath light with darkness? So you see I have no problem with confession of Christ from behind the pulpit or kneeling down at the altar. Or the confessing of sins in our daily prayer lives, I think it’s necessary to remain in fellowship with Christ.

@@lesliehiatt8959 what is a Baptist? What is a pastor? What exactly do you constitute as The Bible. Faithful creeds and confessions give biblical clarity to these and many more very crucial questions. One of the things Voddie mentioned was that ALL of the cults, past and present, claim to be Christian, to believe The Bible and even quote it well. Think about that. No need for confessional clarity?

*The 5 points of CALVINISM summarized:* *1.* "God" in his sovereignty creates 100 souls that hate him, totally depraved although they bear his image. *2.* Before giving them life, he lovingly chooses 96 to be in hell forever. *3.* In his infinite mercy he sends “His Son” to die for the other 4 that remain. Those whom he has chosen, because he is sovereign, because he wants to. *4.* "God", with great love, forces the 4 to believe in his “Son”. *5* Finally, two of them finished the race well, one ended up tied to pornography and another, getting entangled in sin, ended up worse than he was. But “God” forces them all to enter in Heaven. If God says that he has died for all, *it is that he has died for all:* *Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ; *1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc Let us be very very careful, lest we be found liars before God.

There IS scripture for “ faith and practice “ ...2Timothy 3:16 ..ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS that the man of GOD may be perfect( whole ), throughly furnished unto all good works The Trinity was present at Jesus baptism, the Father spoke from Heaven, the Spirit descend on JESUS Mysticism Judaism Kabbalah Noahide laws The Church of JESUS CHRIST has had foes down through the ages Judaism Romanism and now Zionism The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR

This is the wellspring of vipers in diapers!

All the different ways of going to hell. Satan has you covered, wether you want london house or 1689. Satans bible cemetaries have something for you. JESUS is not divided, so no need for all that confusion. No denominations required. Only his HOLY SPIRIT is needed and his word. (Non modern translations).

Course, membership, required, sounds like doctrines of men. None of that is required to get to heaven.

Voddie is correct. If you read the 1689 confession from a contemporary, dispensational point of view or perspective, you will not grasp it. But if you read it as a 17th Century Baptist, you will. That is another reason I do not follow postmodern scholars (including Voddie).

15:59 Why DON"T you accept the "Apocrypha"? Jesus quoted in nearly 150 times and Paul over 600 times! That tells the non-biased person that (even if they didn't accept its authority in determining doctrine, a proposition no one alive now can prove or deny, they were familiar with its content and expected true Christian believers to be so as well.

@@HighChurchProtestant Where's your proof? Just making that statement that Jesus and Paul didn't quote the "Apocrypha' doesn't make it true! Here's my proof: An international team of Greek and New Testament scholars used a computer to compare the original Greek of the New Testament with that of the Apocrypha and those are the figures the computer produced doing word by word comparing of the two texts. The resulting list is printed pp. 800-804 of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th edition (Novum Testamentum: Graece et Latine, published by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft) Here is a link to the list jimmyakin.com/deuterocanonical-references-in-the-new-testament .
