Pastor Mike,
My church has a statement of faith that I can't quite figure out where it came from.
It was hand written in 1931, but I think it was being copied from an earlier edition. Our church was founded in 1904. Reading it, you can tell that it's related to the New Hampshire Confession and the BF&M 1925, but it's definately different. It's shorter. It does not have the "truth without any mixture of error" phrase.
There seems to be two possibilities. Either the founders of Grace Baptist Church took to shortening the New Hampshire Confession, or they used a confession that pre-dates it.
I've checked the back of Grudem's Systematic Theology and did some online research to no avail. Wiki says that New Hamphsire did come from something older, but doesn't say what. (It has no similarity to the Philadelphia Confession.)
Do you know where they may have gotten this confession?
