BTTT for later reading
The question has never been about dates or charts.
The question IS about God’s nature.
IF there is a true wrath from God (the tribulation) can the Church suffer that wrath?
Can a believer who is covered with the blood of the Son and indwelt by the Holy Spirit be subject to the wrath of the Father?
I think not. So just as Enoch was taken out before the first wrath, so shall we.
I guess I don’t know what I am... not enough info here to tell.
Can you help please?
“Covenant Theology = two covenants”?
[Dallas Theological Seminary]
Well....I was a student of a guy who got his doctorate there. Nice guy, who’s name I will not mention in forum nor in message, has way different views than I.
I have some issues with each, though I lean much more to the dispensationalist side.
The dispensationalists who say that now it is simply accepting or rejecting Christ as though God’s law is irrelevant now have it wrong, for example.
one does not need to take sides of this “debate”. The truth is no human really knows these things. No one. Live each day as if it were your last because no one knows when Christ will return and no one knows how all this works.
All I know for sure is that in the end, every last thing written about in the Bible will have come to pass.

Not really sure what the author is attempting to say, but I do agree with this statement. I HATE religious labels because they cause so much division and divide the Body. Believers should be able to discuss the Bible and share their view, even if either is in error.
I was a "dispensationalist" before I ever heard the term. I simply studied the Bible and noted the major differences between the OT, NT time of Jesus and Acts, and Paul's Revelation. It wasn't until later that I read works by Bullinger, Welch, and others who explained it better.
BTW - if you don't take a little lamb or two doves to church to sacrifice, you are a dispensationalist.
Not if they are Protestant, as their historic faith rests on a rebellion in the Sixteenth Century and a reformation of historic Christianity. Yet there are surviving elements of sanctification and truth in said faith communities.
I sure don`t have nothing against people who believe they are going to be raptured out of this mess.
A life long friend and one that was even closer than a brother ( our wifes became great friends also which was great ) believed in the pre tribulation rapture.
He has been gone from us for many years now, we argued all of the time about it.
I once ask him if he believed Paul was saying we would literally go to meet Christ in the air alive, his answer was exactly.
My point is that if it is literal then Paul was also in the rapture so we must have missed it by almost two thousand years.
That's the first step to Dispensations.
Those who are saved, from the beginning of this earth, are saved by grace through faith. There are not different times and ways in which people are saved. This is where I most strongly disagree with the Dispensationalists-that people were saved in various modes in each dispensation.
There are only TWO choices??
