Paragraph 21.2

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

God alone is Lord of the conscience,⁠1 and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in any thing contrary to His Word, or not contained in it.⁠2 So that to believe such doctrines, or obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience;⁠3 and the requiring of an implicit faith, and absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience and reason also.⁠4

The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)

20.2

God alone is Lord of the conscience,⁠1 and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in anything contrary to his Word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship.⁠2 So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience;⁠3 and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.⁠4
