The New Hampshire Confession of Faith is a primary nineteenth century Baptist confessional document, adopted by the New Hampshire Baptist Convention in 1833, and historically influential well beyond its own state as later Baptist confessions, including Southern Baptist statements of faith, drew on its language and structure. As the convention's own primary text it is the correct source for what this specific confession states as Baptist doctrine of that period. Its limit is that it is a primary denominational statement from one specific convention and period, so a claim about Baptist doctrine generally, across the tradition's considerable later diversity, needs a source addressing that broader and later range rather than this one confession alone.
