1689 Confession, Perseverance of the Saints, para. 1

1689 CONFESSION OF FAITH, CH. 17, PARA. 1-1

I: THE ELECT are those whom God accepts, calls, sanctifies, and gives faith... Unto Salvation.

Sam Waldron: "To speak of the subjects of perseverance involves the question: 'Who is it that perseveres?' Those who are given the gift of perseverance are described here in four ways. They are those 'accepted in the beloved', not those who have, to use the modern phrase, accepted Jesus as their Savior. They are the 'effectually called', not merely all those who are generally called by the gospel and respond in some way. They are those 'sanctified by the Spirit', not merely all those with an outward profession and reformation of life. They are those 'given the precious faith of [God's] elect', not all and every sort of believer. This is very important."

A: THE ELECT NEITHER TOTALLY NOR FINALLY FALL.

B: THE ELECT SHALL PERSEVERE TO THE END AND BE FINALLY SAVED.

(A&B contain the entirety of the Westminster Confession of Faith. All that follows is from the First London Confession of Faith.)

C: THE ELECT ARE GIVEN GIFTS AND CALLING FROM GOD.
1: God will not remove said gifts.
2: God will continue to give said gifts.
3: These gifts are used by God to nourish the elect in faith, repentance, love, joy, hope, and all the graces of the Spirit unto immortality.
