 | | Dispensationalism is distinguished by three things: (1) consistent literal interpretation; (2) clear distinction between Israel and the church; (3) the glory of God as God's ultimate purpose in the world. | | | Dispensationalism: It is that system of theology which sees the Bible as the unfolding (developing) of the distinguishable economies in the outworking of God's purpose and which sees His program with Israel as distinct and separate from His program (plan) with the church. | | | The biblical distinction between Israel and the church remains unassailed, as the essence of pure dispensationalism. |

| | Dispensationalism's Development |
| | Dispensationalism is a movement of eschatological interpretation distinguished by its belief that a consistently literal hermeneutic mandates a consistent biblical distinction between Israel and the Church and an imminent pretribulational concept of the return of Christ for His Church. | | | Their move to refine Dispensational articulation of soteriological continuity emphasized that spiritual salvation would be the same for believers of all dispensations, and the means of this salvation for an individual was faith alone. | | | The writers of the early post-Apostolic Church era (e.g., Clement of Rome, 2 Clement, Barnabas, Papias), were premillennial and even held to a distinction between Israel and the Church. |

| | DISPENSATIONALISM |
| | Dispensationalism says that all of the promises given in the Old Testament must be fulfilled to a political nation of Israel. | | | Dispensationalism usually teaches that the church is neither found nor mentioned in the Old Testament. | | | Dispensationalism suffers from this kind of spiritual myopia. |

| | dispensationalism |
| | Dispensationalism, in brief, is a system of eschatology marked by a distinction between Israel and the Church, belief in the imminent coming of Christ to take his church out of the world, a literal interpretation of the Bible, and a literal, future millennium ruled by Christ on earth. | | | As Timothy Weber has written, most dispensationalists believe that Christ is coming because they believe that the Bible tells them so, and all their religious beliefs center on the trust they do or do not place in that book. | | | It is therefore premillennial--that is, dispensationalism holds that Christ will come before the millennium--but conflating dispensationalism with premillennialism is a mistake. |

| | What is Dispensationalism? |
| | Blaising notes that the heavenly, spiritual, and individualistic nature of the church in classical dispensationalism underscored the well-known view that the church is a parenthesis in the history of redemption. | | | Those who are dispensationalists argue that the basic beliefs of dispensationalism were held by the apostles and the first generation church. | | | Other significant, although not necessarily exclusive features of dispensationalism, include: (1) the authority of Scripture; (2) belief in dispensations; (3) emphasis on Bible prophecy; (4) futuristic premillennialism; (5) pretribulationism; and (6) a view of imminency that sees Christ’s return as an “any-moment” possibility. |

| | Covenant Theology Versus Dispensationalism |
| | This is what changed the whole course of dispensationalism: the view that there were two new covenants, one for Israel and one for the church, was decisively dropped. | | | Some covenant theologians would have us believe that their belief system was that of the founding fathers of the early church. | | | But when Israel and the church were viewed as sharing one and the same covenant, the possibilities for major rapprochement between covenant theology and dispensationalism became immediately obvious. |

| | DISPENSATIONALISM by Grover Gunn |
| | According to dispensationalism, the Old Testament saints are not in the church universal, which is the Body of Christ and the Bride of Christ. | | | Also, since according to dispensationalism, God's program for the church is totally distinct from God's program for Israel, we should expect Paul to teach that at the beginning of the church age a new olive tree representing the church was divinely planted. | | | Dispensationalism views the church age as an interruption in God's program for Israel, as a temporary cessation in the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. |

| | Dispensationalism ? |
| | Perhaps the central doctrine of dispensationalism is the distinction between Israel and the church. | | | The father of dispensationalism, John Nelson Darby, educated as a lawyer and ordained Anglican priest, was one of the chief founders of the Plymouth Brethren movement, which arose in reaction against the perceived empty formalism of the Church of England. | | | Dispensationalism sees Israel as an earthly people with earthly promises, and the church as a heavenly people with heavenly promises. |

| | What is Dispensationalism |
| | The key distinction of dispensationalism is the teaching that God has two plans at work in salvation history: one for Israel and one for the Church. | | | This cannot be understated: the dispensational distinction between Israel and the Church creates serious implications for the nature of the Church and the Gospel itself. | | | Dispensationalism is an elaborated system, promoting certain theological assumptions extraneous to the Bible. |

| | In a nutshell, Dispensationalism is based upon a separation between Israel and the church - scriptures which were written exclusively to Israel do not apply to the church today, and scriptures written to the church do not apply to Israel. | | | And Dispensationalism is indeed a scriptural concept - the apostle Paul stated that a dispensation of the gospel was committed unto him in 1 Cor. | | | So there is more to Dispensationalism than just recognizing the distinction between Israel and the church, as illustrated by the fact that many non-Dispensationalists also believe in a pre-trib "rapture". |

| | Often, there is a failure to recognize that though the presuppositions of dispensationalism, if carried to their logical conclusion (as is sometimes the case), may have a damning effect, there are many who are blessedly inconsistent with their own presuppositions, and who have truly understood and experienced the doctrines and power of the gospel. | | | The Augustinian spiritual view of the millennium of the historicist type (that in the Apocalypse we find the history of the church) continued to be dominant in the thinking of the Reformers and in writings of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | But we do not believe that God has left His church in the dark from the beginning as pertains to the larger Biblical doctrines and principles, only to reveal them in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries. |

| | Most people, regardless of denomination or church affiliation, are unfamiliar with the term "dispensationalism." Yet it is the common source for those groups who believe in the Rapture, the seven year Tribulation and the literal thousand year reign of Christ. | | | In responding to the criticism that dispensationalism is a recent theological innovation, Ryrie writes: "Some who use this device to discredit dispensationalism are honest enough to admit that history is never the test of truth - the Bible and only the Bible is." This raises some important questions. | | | The acknowledged father of dispensationalism is John Nelson Darby, an Irish lawyer who left his successful practice to become an Anglican priest. |

| | Dispensationalism teaches that the nation of Israel is still waiting for its kingdom and King, as well as the reception of the inheritances of the 'Abrahamic Covenant.' | | | This is true not only of those in the pews but also, in many instances, the preachers themselves have never seriously compared Dispensationalism with covenant theology as it is most clearly expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the theology of the Heidelberg Catechism. | | | As is the case with First Century Judaism, the fundamental mistake of this view is identifying the "Israel of God" in a nationalistic way. |
