Paragraph 2.3

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

In this divine and infinite Being there are three subsistences, the Father, the Word (or Son), and Holy Spirit,⁠1 of one substance, power, and eternity, each having the whole divine essence, yet the essence undivided:⁠2 the Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father;⁠3 the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son;⁠4 all infinite, without beginning, therefore but one God, who is not to be divided in nature and being, but distinguished by several peculiar relative properties and personal relations; which doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on Him.⁠

The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)

2.3

In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.⁠1 The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father;⁠2 the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.⁠3
