| Summary: | This article is a brief response to the claim by Christopher Crocker that English Baptists in the twentieth century were post-confessionalism. The article argues that the Baptist Union’s Declaration of Principle of 1904 (revised in 1906 and 1938) is a theological and confessional text, which while it is brief, is in alignment with catholic and evangelical faith. In addition to the Declaration of Principle, the article provides further evidence in reciting the creed, statements of belief, denominational documents, and resources for worship to claim that Baptists remained a confessing people. |
