Doctrine
The Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches holds to classic Calvinism (as promulgated in the Westminster Standards, Three Forms of Unity, and 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith), but on some doctrines in which Calvinists differ, (e.g., paedocommunion and paedobaptism) the Confederation allows each church to decide its own stance.
The Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches holds to the following historic Confessions:
* Westminster Confession of Faith (1647)
* American Westminster Confession of Faith (1788)
* The Three Forms of Unity:
** Belgic Confession (1561)
** Heidelberg Catechism (1563)
** Canons of Dort (1619)
* The London Baptist Confession (1689)
* The Savoy Declaration (1658)
* The Reformed Evangelical Confession
