The official doctrinal statement of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Incorporated, published on the denomination's own website as its Articles of Faith. It sets out eighteen articles, from the authority of Scripture through the nature of God, salvation, the church, baptism and the world to come, and its headings, order and much of its wording closely follow the nineteenth century New Hampshire Confession of Faith in its expanded eighteen article form, rather than presenting an independently drafted statement. As the convention's own institutional voice it is the correct source for what the convention itself has adopted as its confessional standard, though a reader wanting an independent historical account of how that adoption came about should look to outside scholarship.

Tier one: the convention's own official statement of its Articles of Faith, published on its own site, a custodian source for its own confessional standard rather than an outside account of it. No publisher is recorded because the page is self-published on the convention's own official website rather than issued through a separate imprint. Citation
