Comparison of confessions

Am I reading correctly that the Savoy Declaration is basically the WCF congregational style?


Also what is the difference between the first and second LBC?

I believe a reading of the introductory "Letter to the Judicial and Impartial Reader" for the 1677/89 Baptist Confession of Faith should should prove beneficial to you and answer both your questions.

Yes, the Savoy is basically a revision of the WCF from the Congregational perspective, just as the 1677/1689 LBCF is a revision of the WCF from the Baptist perspective.

For a WCF-Savoy comparison, see here:
