Westminster Confession of Faith was created in 1646.
The Westminster Confession of Faith was written in 1646. Its key principles include the belief in the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Bible, the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith, and the importance of the church and sacraments.

The Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 3 teaches that God has decreed everything that happens in the world according to His will, including predestining some people to salvation and others to condemnation. This doctrine emphasizes God's sovereignty and control over all things.
The differences between the Westminster Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism are minimal at best. The Heidelberg emphasizes public worship and a spiritual rest on the Sabbath (as opposed to physical rest), while the Westminster emphasizes physical Sabbath rest and the particulars of faith in action. One will also note a general change in language and structure between the Heidelberg (written between 1561 and 1563), and the Westminster (written in 1646).

A general confession in the Catholic faith is a comprehensive confession of all sins a person has committed in their life, typically done before a major event like marriage or ordination. It differs from a regular confession, which is a more frequent and specific confession of recent sins to a priest. The significance of a general confession lies in the opportunity for deep reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal before important milestones in one's faith journey.
