1689 1:6 - The Sufficiency of Scripture - Good & Necessary Consequence? | Confessing the Faith

Confessing the Faith | "Here the Confession answers the question, How or in what way the Scriptures are sufficient for us? The contrast may not be as clear  in the 1689 as it is in the Westminster which says: “is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.” 

"The Baptists changed the wording not because they were against good and necessary consequence, but because they were suspicious of what their Presbyterian friends thought was good and necessary consequence from Scriptures. They embraced the concept but wanted to tighten the language."

Confessing the Faith is a theological and devotional walk through the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith with host Sam Waldron, Pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro, KY and President of Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary.
