If there was once a time when one could sum up their biblical theology by the statement, "We just believe the Bible", and it was commonly understood as to what that statement meant, that is no longer descriptive of the time in which we live now. Convinced it is no longer sufficient nor clear to simply state, "We just believe the Bible", but also what we believe the Bible says, we see the wisdom in holding to a common, orthodox, historic confession. Therefore, Guatemala Interior Mission's biblical theology and convictions are those generally upheld by the 1689 2nd London Baptist Confession of Faith, as the best confession and compendium of our statement of faith and what we believe the Bible says regarding matters of life and faith as God has revealed to us in His holy word.
We echo the words of C.H. Spurgeon who said:
"This ancient document is the most excellent epitome of the things most surely believed among us. It is not issued as an authoritative rule or code of faith, whereby you may be fettered, but as a means of edification in righteousness. It is an excellent, though not inspired, expression of the teaching of those Holy Scriptures by which all confessions are to be measured. We hold to the humbling truths of God's sovereign grace in the salvation of lost sinners. Salvation is through Christ alone and by faith alone."
