I guess I should edit my affirmed text more.

Though technically, he probably has a point on that score. Will we be known as Christians or children of God?

Ya think?!!!

I’m sure in the delirium known as Dispensationalism there is some significant distinction between “Christian,” a mere derisive label by those not the children of God, and “children of God.” I’m actually all a tingle as to why you think this is significant. I’ll probably regret the answer later, but I am curious at the moment.

***I still don’t know of a single Dispy who believes that.***

Ok, one more time...
There were no Christians in the Old Testament and there will no Christians after the Rapture, since only Christians make up the bride of Christ (Eph.5:30) ~ post 198

If only Christians get to be joined to the Messiah, then every OT saint and every saint from after the “Rapture” will NEVER be joined to the Messiah. This means that such prefigures of Christ such as David will NEVER have their long looked for Messiah. But, there is this cool consolation prize: dirt.

God to Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, et. all.: Sorry, but you will never be joined to the Messiah. But, there is this cool consolation prize. Gabby (Gabriel), open door #2 and let’s show them the dump truck full of what they get to have for all eternity.
