- The Scots Confession (also called the Scots Confession of 1560) is a Confession of Faith written in 1560 by six leaders of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. The Confession was the first Subordinate Standard for the Protestant church in Scotland. In August 1560 the Parliament of Scotland agreed to reform the religion of the country. To enable them to decide what the Reformed Faith was to be, they set John Knox, and another 5 Johns, John Winram, John Spottiswoode, John Willock, John Douglas, and John Row, to prepare a Confession of Faith. This they did in 4 days. The 25 Chapters of the Confession spell out a contemporary statement of the Christian Faith as understood by the followers of John Calvin during his life time. Although the Confession and its accompanying documents were the product of the joint effort of the Six Johns, its authorship is customarily attributed to John Knox. While the Parliament approved the Confession, Queen Mary refused to agree, and the Confession was not enacted as law until 1567. It remained the Confession of the Church of Scotland until it was superseded by the Westminster Confession of Faith in 1648. However, the confession itself begins by stating that the Parliament "ratifeit and apprevit [the confession] as hailsome and sound doctrine groundit vpoune the infallibill trewth of godis word"; thus, though changes within societies may have diminished its relevance therein, the sound nature of its statements is rooted not in parliamentary approval but in, as it says, "the infallible truth of God's word. " Thus, where the Confession refers to "our souerane and supreame gouernour Christ Jesus", that such is so is not a matter of Parliamentary approval or of any temporal instrument but of God's word.
- La Confesión Escocesa (también llamada la Confesión Escocesa de 1560) es una Confesión de fe escrita en 1560 por seis líderes de la Reforma Protestante en Escocia. La confesión fue el primer estándar subordinado para la Iglesia protestante en Escocia. En agosto de 1560 el parlamento escocés acordó reformar la religión del país. Para permitirles decidir cual debía ser la Fe Reformada, ellos comisionaron a John Knox y a otros cinco: John Winram, John Spottiswoode, John Willock, John Douglas y John Row, para preparar una Confesión de fe. Esto lo hicieron en 4 días. Los 25 capítulos de la Confesión contienen una declaración contemporánea de la fe cristiana tal y como la entendían los seguidores de Juan Calvino durante su vida. Si bien la Confesión y los documentos que la acompañaban fue el producto de un esfuerzo conjunto de los seis, se acostumbra atribuir su autoría a John Knox. Aunque el Parlamento aprobó la Confesión, la reina María rehusó reconocerla, y la Confesión no se convirtió en ley sino hasta 1567. Se mantuvo como la Confesión de la Iglesia de Escocia hasta que se reemplazó por la Confesión de Fe de Westminster en 1648.
