  Battle of the Sabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the year 57 BC, a large group of Belgic and Celtic tribes in the area of modern-day France and Belgium mobilized to drive out their Roman conquerors.
The few Belgic horse were in the open land between the trees and the river bank.
After overcoming the Atrebates and seizing the Belgic camp on the south bank, the 10th legion was sent back across the river to retake the Roman camp, possibly with assistance from the 13th and 14th legions, which had been guarding the baggage train and were now rushing to join their comrades.

 Belgae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A large number of coins of the Ambiani dating to the mid-2nd century BC have been found in southern Britain, and within memory of Caesar's time a king of the Suessiones called Diviciacus was not only the most powerful king of Belgic Gaul but also ruled territory in Britain.
Commius of the Atrebates, Caesar's former ally, fled to Britain after participating in Vercingetorix's rebellion and either joined or established a British branch of his tribe.
Based on the development of imagery on coins, it seems likely that, by the time of the Roman conquest, most of the tribes of south-eastern Britain were Belgic or at least ruled by a Belgic aristocracy.

Belgic is a recent language (in progress) that stems from a thorough reform of the old Gaulish/Celtic language that was spoken in our regions during biblical times.
The Belgic language is characterized by a profound simplification of the old vocabulary and grammar.
The result is called 'Belgic', after the antique inhabitants of our areas who are mentioned as the most brave among the Gauls, the Belgae.

 Sola Gratica - Creation: What The Belgic Confession Teaches
He also created the angels good, to be His messengers and to serve His elect; some of whom are fallen from that excellency in ivhich God created them into everlasting perdition, and the others have by the grace of God remained steadfast and continued in their first state.
Therefore we reject and abhor the error of the Sadducees, who deny the existence of spirits and angels; and also that of the Manichees, who assert that the devils have their origin of themselves, and that they are wicked of their own nature, without having been corrupted.
This is rationalistic unbelief similar to that which has plagued the modern Church since at least the "Age of Enlightenment." Throughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth centuries rationalistic thinking all but destroyed the biblical view of creation including anything to do with the spiritual realm.

 Redlands Christian Reformed Church
The oldest of the doctrinal standards of the Christian Reformed Church is the Confession of Faith, popularly known as the Belgic Confession, following the seventeenth-century Latin designation "Confessio Belgica." "Belgica" referred to the whole of the Netherlands, both north and south, which today is divided into the Netherlands and Belgium.
The confession's chief author was Guido de Brês, a preacher of the Reformed churches of the Netherlands, who died a martyr to the faith in the year 1567.
To protest against this cruel oppression, and to prove to the persecutors that the adherents of the Reformed faith were not rebels, as was laid to their charge, but law-abiding citizens who professed the true Christian doctrine according to the Holy Scriptures, de Brês prepared this confession in the year 1561.

Though supported by the friendly Belgic Mediomatrici and Catalauni to the north and west, they were surrounded by the Germanic Raurici, Sequani and Lingones to the east, south-east and south.
They were bordered on the north, west and south by the friendly Belgic tribes the Tungri, the Remi and the Mediomatrici, respectively, while to the east were the Germanic Vangiones.
In view of their extensive trade with the island, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the Veneti and perhaps other Armorican states, also had a number of colonies on the south coast of Britain.

BELGIC CONFESSION: A statement of belief written in French in 1561 by Guy de Brès aided by H. Saravia (professor of theology in Leyden, afterward in Cambridge, where he died 1613), H. Modetus (for some time chaplain of William of Orange), and G. Wingen.
It was revised by Francis Junius of Bourges (1545–1602), a student of Calvin, pastor of a Walloon congregation at Antwerp, and afterward professor of theology at Leyden, who abridged the sixteenth article and sent a copy to Geneva and other churches for approval.
Since that time the Belgic Confession, together with the Heidelberg Catechism, has been the recognized symbol of the Reformed Churches in Holland and Belgium, and of the Reformed (Dutch) Church in America.

 The Belgic (or Netherlands) Confession of Faith
The Belgic Confession is historically the first of the three, the others being the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dordt (or Dort).
It is called the Belgic Confession because it was written in the southern Lowlands, now known as Belgium.
The Belgic Confession was written by de Bräs in 1561 primarily as a testimony to the Spanish king to prove that the Reformed believers were not rebels, as was charged, but law-abiding citizens who professed only those doctrines which were the teachings of Holy Scripture.

Strictly speaking, the Church was founded at Pentecost, and rests on the foundation of the apostles and prophets (apostles who weren't around to found the "old covenant Church"), according to Eph 2.20.
The Belgic's wording is only made more problematic by speaking of the sanctifying and sealing of the Holy Spirit in the immediate context (previous sentence).
Here again, there is a sense in which we must agree: the Holy Spirit was indeed active during the old covenant period, and He engaged in what we would term "sanctification." Nonetheless...

 The Emergence of the Catuvellauni - i   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Caesar himself, in his description of Britain at that time, claims that in the decades before his invasion, the coastal areas of southern Britain had been occupied by 'Belgic' peoples coming from the continent, many of whom had retained the same tribal names they had borne in their home territory.
Earlier, in his account of operations in Gaul, (ii, 4) Caesar lists some eleven 'Belgic' tribes, but the name of the Catuvellauni is not amongst them, and nor is it mentioned by Caesar in his account of events in Britain.
Furthermore, recent detailed studies of 'Belgic' pottery and coinage suggest that it is difficult to date the earliest distinctively Belgic pottery before Caesar and that the distribution of Gallo-Belgic coins may reflect trade and exchange rather than emergent Belgic states.

In the words of the famous church historian Philip Schaff, the Belgic Confession is "the best symbolic statement of the Calvinistic system of doctrine, with the exception of the Westminster Confession," (Note: symbolics is the study of the creeds and confessions of the church).
Its strict adherence to the supreme standard of the Holy Scriptures is reflected by the fact of its continuing virtually unchanged since coming from the pen of its framer.

 "The Whole Manner of Worship..." Worship and the Sufficiency of Scripture in Belgic Confession Article 7 by Wes ...
Therefore it is correct to conclude that when the Gallican Confession connects the sufficiency of Scripture with worship, it does so primarily in light of the corruptions of the Roman Church, and with a view to the maintenance and reformation of worship of the Church according to Scripture and only Scripture.
The second paragraph of the Belgic Confession speaks of "custom, the great multitude, antiquity, succession of times and persons, or councils, decrees or statutes." Such cannot be spoken of in regards to the Anabaptists or Mystics.
As it is, the Belgic Confession presents a tightly cogent and Scriptural argument for the principle that we should only worship God as He has commanded us in His Word, neither adding nor taking away from His most pure Word.

 Scott Clark's Notes on the Belgic Confession   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In contrast, the Belgic affirmed the paradox of man's high state at creation, his free will and his mutability (posse peccare, posse non peccare), which made the fall a possibility (WCF 4.2).
Nor is it altogether abolished or wholly eradicated even by baptism; since sin always issues forth from the woeful source, as water from a fountain; notwithstanding it is not imputed to the children of God unto condemnation, but by his grace and mercy is forgiven them.
Though the "covenant of works" idea is not found explicitly in the Belgic, this same Federal framework formed the basis of the doctrine of the covenant of works as expressed in WCF 7.

A In looking at Article 14 we hear the Belgic Confession affirming the teaching of the Bible that God made and formed man in His "image and likeness" (cf Gen 1:26-27).
We have to say that the view of the Belgic Confession of Faith is essentially correct.
The image of God in man is that man is good, just, holy, and able in all things to conform to the will of God — after all, this is the language of Paul in his letter to Ephesus (4:24).
