Since the early days of the Baptist tradition, denominations have adopted common statements of faith as the basis for interdependency and cooperativity among the local churches.[1]
Among the Baptist confessions of faiths, the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith is subscribed to by a consensus of Reformed Baptists (Particular Baptists). The Orthodox Creed is widely accepted by General Baptists (1678).
