ABSTRACT
The New Hampshire Baptist Convention appointed a committee on June 24, 1830, to prepare a statement of faith, which was published by the Board of the Convention in 1833. The confession reflects the moderate Calvinism of the time. Its publication, in 1853, with some revision by J. Newton Brown, editorial secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, gave it wide distribution. Unlike earlier Baptist confessions, it is silent on the doctrine of the universal Church; and this has made it especially attractive to those who emphasized the local congregation and to the Landmark Baptist movement. In 1925, amid the evolution and modernist controversies, the Southern Baptist Convention issued a statement on Baptist faith and message. This statement had been prepared by an able committee including E. Y. Mullins, W. J. McGlothlin, and E. C. Dargan.
