Associational Confessions

The Strict and Particular Baptists organized several regional Associations. To name a few, there were (1) The Suffolk and Norfolk Association organized in 1769, and reorganized in affirmation of High-Calvinism in 1829; (2) The London Association of Strict Baptist Ministers and Churches (1846); (3) The London Strict Baptist Association (1849); (4) The Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches (1871); (5) The Northern Counties Union of Strict Baptists (1895). To this list may also be added the Gospel Standard churches (1870’s), which is the only 19th century Association functioning today. Each Association drew up its own doctrinal statement.

However, as I explored the history of the church, and indeed,…
