Gospel Standard Strict Baptists
The Gospel Standard Strict Baptists, sometimes called Gospel Standard Baptists, or Gadsbyites, are a group of Strict Baptists who originated in the 19th century from their association with the Gospel Standard Magazine. As of July 2023, there were seventy-nine chapels located in the United Kingdom, three in the United States, two in Canada, and two in Australia.[1]
History
The Gospel Standard Baptists have their roots in the early English Particular Baptist tradition.
Doctrine
Gospel Standard Baptists are generally aligned with the Second London Baptist Confession (1689) and the Gospel Standard Articles of Faith.[2]
They are often accused of Hyper-Calvinism, since they deny the Free Offer of the Gospel and Duty-Faith, and Antinomianism, because they deny that the Moral Law is a rule of conduct to believers.
