The Gospel Standard or the Gospel Standard Strict Baptists are a Strict Baptist denomination that reject the concept of "offering the gospel", and became institutionally distinct when a magazine of the same name was first published in 1835 by William Gadsby.[1] This magazine is the tenth oldest monthly magazine still in print in the British Isles.
Many Strict Baptist churches are affiliated with and recognised by the publishers of the Gospel Standard.[2] Churches which align themselves with the magazine are known as "Gospel Standard Baptists" or "Gospel Standard Strict Baptists".[3] [4]
Strict Baptists are a subset of Reformed Baptists and claim to take inspiration from many historical theologians and preachers such as John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli,[5] William Kiffin, John Wycliffe, Jan Hus[6] and most notably, William Gadsby.
