BAPTISM: IT’S MODE & SUBJECTS. (DUDLEY) 1859


Lexington, Ky., Aug.30, 1859.

MY DEAR BROTHER: - We were much gratified to receive your letter of the 17th., which came to hand last evening; from which we learn that you and your family were enjoying that greatest of earthly blessings, health – without which we are unprepared to appreciate other earthly blessings.

BROTHER E.D. TURNER'S LETTER ON MINISTERIAL SUPPORT (BEEBE) 1858


On two points in Brother Turner’s letter, we wish to offer a few remarks, not by way of controversy, for with the general sentiments of his letter we think we are agreed, and probably on every point, when we fully understand each other.

BORN OF THE WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT: JOHN 3.5 (BEEBE) 1867


In our last issue, sister L. Fewell asked for our opinion as to the meaning of these words - whether the words, born of water, refer to baptism or to the action of the Holy Spirit.

BAPTISM - REBAPTISM 1856 (BEEBE)


Elder G. Beebe: - Suppose a member of the Missionary Baptist church, of undoubted piety, and sincerity in his attachment to your church, were to apply for admission, would you receive him, without rebaptizing him? What should an individual do who can have no fellowship with the various (so-called) benevolent enterprises of the day, and who still believes that the Old School Baptists have gone into error in reference to predestination, &c., and that they so hold and teach these doctrines as to produce bad practical results, supposing him to believe that salvation is whole of God, and that good works do not procure salvation, but ought to be constantly required of church members as a test of Christian character; and an evidence and the chief evidence, of being under grace? These questions are propounded in all honesty and sincerity, and with the purest motives, if a constant and intense desire to see the Baptist church what it has been, constitutes such motives; and I hope you will find it convenient and agreeable to answer them in your next issue of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and in so doing you will gratify one who has been for some time burdened with a sense of the terrible corruptions existing in the Christian world.

BAPTISM 2 (BEEBE) 1868


Elder Beebe: - Is it according to the order of the gospel for an Old Baptist Church to receive as members those who have been baptized by any other denomination of religionists, not recognized by them as the church of Christ, without baptizing them in the fellowship of the Old Order of Baptists? Your views on the above will oblige

BAPTISM (BEEBE) 1863


Brother Beebe: - The Signs of the Times still continue to come as a welcome messenger to us, and we wish to have them continue to come as long as we can raise the money to pay for them. In your last you requested each subscriber to try to procure at least one additional subscriber, and I have done so. You will find the money enclosed, etc. Brother Beebe, I am going to trouble you for your opinion. I will name the circumstances: We had two Baptist preachers here last spring, and there are five or six Baptist members here - but they are not organized in a church - and there were one or two who wished to be baptized, but the members, under present circumstances, did not wish to go into a constitution. Now, would it have been right or wrong for one of those preachers to have baptized those persons, if they had given him a satisfactory evidence of their hope in Christ? I would like to have your opinion on the subject.
