Many people who are critical of dispensationalism - and see that many New Testament scriptures do not agree with it - were once dispensationalists and woke up. But when I was high school age in Texas I went to the local Southern Baptist Church for a time. That preacher did not teach dispensationalism. What he taught was more like Calvinism. I know this may suggest that I was high school age about a hundred years ago. It was a time before the sixties when W.A. Crisswell and other dispensationalists took over the Southern Baptist Convention.

The point is that dispensationalists seem to believe that because so many church members in the evangelical denominations are fervent believers in dispensationalism, that the theology must be correct. But in my lifetime there was a time before the sixties when the Southern Baptists were not all dispensationalists. Those who were not dispensationalists still followed the Reformation theology that defined the Southern Baptist beliefs in their earlier history, for example, during the Great Awakening revivals of the 18th century.

I think that almost any one familiar with the New Testament and also with the doctrines of dfispensationalism - and is honest - would agree that Reformation Theology is closer to what the New Testament teaches than is dispensationalism. The Reformation recovered justification by faith and the necessity of being born again to become a new creation by the Holy Spirit, in which there is a real change in the individual. Dispensationalism is more focused upon "rightly dividing" such as dividing saved Jews and saved Gentiles, than it is with that transformation by the Spirit.

"Don't blame dispensationalism for your disbelief. "

This is a little ambiguous. It could be read to say "Don't blame dispensationalism for your disbelief in the Gospel of Christ."

bernardpyron:
As you were, I was also. The Reformation theology has its own problems but that is another thread.

I am at best a leaky dispensationalist. I say that as I read the Bible literally, historically and grammatically. The word dispensation is Biblical and it is used four times in the KJV of the Bible. (1 Cor 9:17: Eph 1:10;3:2: Col 1:25). God even tells us to rightly divide the Bible in 2 Tim 2:15.

Most people change, add, delete God's WORD in order for it to agree with their world view. Many world views place the Jewish people within the Church(Bride / Body of Christ). They have for some reason decided that GOD has taken the New Covenant away from Israel and place them in the Church (Body of Christ).

God's (the Father) "chosen people" is Israel. It does not matter how you put it; He states time and time again that He will bring Israel back. He did this 1948 when Israel declared herself a Nation. Immediately the next day Israel was attacked from three different sides. Even though their army was virtually non-existant, God did not let her fail even though some 1900+ years earlier He had partially blinded her and dispersed her throughout the world.

Dispensation are periods of time where God's relationship with the people of earth are vastly different from one period to another. We see this in the Creation period where there was only one commandment (not to eat the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.). Another period of dispensation followed ending at Noah's Flood. Another dispensation period followed the flood where mankind was repopulating the earth through just six people. When God chose Jacob, called him Israel and named His sons as the tribes of Israel is the beginning of the LAW dispensational period. This period ended at the Cross and the death of Jesus Christ. This period known as the dispensation of Grace is still going and will not stop until the Church (body of Christ) is removed from this earth. Up till now we can account for five dispensational periods. Yet, does any of them tell us that Israel are now (unknown) to GOD. NO!

Let me put it this way, anyone on this earth who follows the Gospel of Jesus Christ (according to scriptures, His WORD) will be part of HIS Church spirtually until we are Raptured. This will leave semi- believers and unbelievers on earth. By the way, the generation will (ages 20 and under) who sees this happen will see the 2nd advent of the Lord, that is if they are are not killed first by wars, pestilences, starvation, earthquakes, weather, etc.

Those who live through Daniel's 70th week, will be judged in the sheep and goat judgement. For those Gentiles that make it through this judgement, they will repopulate the earth for 1000. There is a catch to this. Sometimes during the first hundred years, they have to accept Christ as their Savior.

Somewhere we left behind the Jewish people. NO, not really!. When the Son of Perdition/AntiChrist commits the AoD in the Holy of Holies, the people within Jerusalem who see this and believe in God/Jesus Christ (most asll Jewish) are to flee to the Mountains south of Jerusalem. This is in Jordan and is known as Petra. Here God protects, feeds and nourishes them until Daniel's 70th week is finished. At the Beginning of the Millennium (after those days), God instills HIS New Covenant (The same covenant the Church (Body of Christ)) into their Hearts as Heb 8:10; 10:16... Notice the "AFTER those DAYS" clause here.

Gentiles and Jews alike during the millennium, will still have their mortal bodies. The Church (Body of Christ), the Tribulation Saints, the Old Testament Saints will have translated Bodies not unlike that of Jesus Christ. Those who live during the millennium will have mortal bodies but will live forever.

Please notice, the Body of Christ is ONE, not divided Gentiles and Jews. His Church is ONE, the Bride of Christ.

As far as NOT believing, I do believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to scripture (1 Cor 15:1-4). I leave out nothing nor do I add nothing to His Word, the Bible (KJV).

For those old time preachers,( the ones you and I remember) stretched theology out to increase their Churches attendance. They for the most part made us believe that we were still under the dispensation of Law and if we did not obey, we would go to hell.

I am sorry, you had a bad time but all you have to do now is realize, by removing the covenants from Israel to place them in the Gentile Church is spewing most of the same theology they did.

Might I say, one more thing about dispensations. If you correctly divide the Bible, you wind up with seven (7) dispensations from beginning (Creation) to the End (New Earth and New Heaven) which would be 7,000 years since Creation. We are now at 5,779 and counting.
