1689 London Baptist Confession 26 5. In the execution of this power wherewith he is so entrusted, the Lord Jesus calleth out of the world unto himself (through the ministry of his word, by his Spirit) those that are given unto him by his Father, that they may walk before him in all the ways of obedience which he prescribeth to them in his word. Those thus called, he commandeth to walk together in particular societies or churches, for [1] their mutual edification [to build each other up] and [2] the due performance of that public worship which he requireth of them in the world.

6. The members of these churches are saints by calling, visibly manifesting and evidencing (in and by their profession and walking) their obedience unto that call of Christ and do willingly consent to walk together, according to the appointment of Christ, giving up themselves to [1] the Lord and [2] one to another, by the will of God, in professed subjection to the ordinances of the gospel.

Apostles Creed We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen
