{"id":1365,"count":1,"description":"Gilbert Beebe (1800-1881) was an American Primitive Baptist preacher. In 1826 he was appointed pastor of a Baptist Church in New Vernon, New York, where he remained until his death. In 1832, he started a magazine called the \u201cSigns of the Times\u201d, which he continued to edit also until his death. This Primitive Baptist magazine (1832) was the American counter-part for the Strict Baptist magazines in England\u2014the Gospel Standard (1835) and the Earthen Vessel (1845). That which tied these magazines together was a shared belief in the absolute predestination of God and a full and free gospel unencumbered by the free-will, duty-faith and free offers of men (Hyper-Calvinism). In fact, when William Gadsby (the father of the founder of the \u201cGospel Standard\u201d magazine) died in the year 1844, Beebe included his obituary in the \u201cSigns of the Times\u201d, giving thanks to the Lord for his life and ministry.
