1689 Baptist Confession of Faith: Holy Scriptures - Article 6

In this video, Michael Naaktgeboren teaches from the first chapter and sixth article of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith (Second London Baptist Confession of Faith). The first chapter deals with the Holy Scriptures and chapter 6 discusses that the Bible, the whole counsel of God's Word, has all that is necessary for man's salvation, faith, and life, and nothing needs to be added. At the same time, the work of the Holy Spirit is necessary for man to understand such things and there is information outside the Bible that Christians can make use of in organizing worship and the government of the church.

6._____The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word, and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God, and government of the church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature and Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.
