| | | LBC1689 with updated language
Is anyone using a LBC1689 with updated language? If so, has it been checked thoroughly to see if it rings true to the original? Is it in print or a free download? I'm curious because I have a download, but have no knowledge of the revisor and the group he is with. I don't want to use something that was biased or intentionally modified.

I haven't used it.

Here are a couple of efforts. Founders Ministries | A Faith to Confess: The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Modern 1689 Confession
The second link has a Word.doc to the right that can be downloaded. One of the other links there appears to be broken.
Enjoy!

I believe that's what Dr. James White quoted from in Debating Calvinism when he quoted the confession, but I don't have the book (borrowed it from church library).

Carey Publications' A Faith to Confess: The Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689, Rewritten in Modern English is very trustworthy. The revision was done by S.M. Houghton, who edited for, and published a couple of books with, the Banner of Truth Trust.

If you linked to the one I listed in the baptist forum http://www.puritanboard.com/f113/ple...-1689-a-50535/ it was done by an Elder in a Reformed Baptist Church in Alabama. He is looking for a critique and recommendations. He is also the moderator of the RBLISTthat use to be linked to the Founders Ministry, if I am not mistaken.
Here is the Carey Publications one that was put into modern English in 1975. Founders Ministries | A Faith to Confess: The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith
You might also find this interesting. It is a comparative of the Confessions. Tabular Comparison of 1646 WCF, 1658 Savoy Declaration, the 1677/1689 LBCF, and the 1742 PCF | | The Following User Says Thank You to PuritanCovenanter For This Useful Post: | |

Rich,
I use the original text
see here The BCF Assistant - Table of Contents
You can download it as a program here A Reformed Baptist's Disk
What I've done is copied the text, formatted it in a Word.doc, printed it out "booklet" style, punched it and placed it in my Levenger Circa notebook (junior size) - very handy
Did the same with our two Particular Baptist Catechisms

Founders looks like a potential for ordering a hardcopy. The downloads are chapter by chapter, so it would take a while to compile the freeware sites.

The only copyrighted stuff I ever knocked off was after asking permission & getting it to make a copy for the entire elder board on a 6DVD series about the NAR. I even deleted the stuff covered under the CCLI agreement from our former congregation when we left. I agree with you that the Jolly Roger should not fly over any Christian computers.
