Makes sense, so its a theology that Roman Catholic, Reformed, and Traditional Protestant (not modern mainline Protestant) would take a look at and disagree with.

Here's a linky to a representative statement. Their objections are pretty much mine.
(not modern mainline Protestant)
I spent a couple hours once scouring WCC denominational websites for their statements of faith, specifically looking for eschatological positions. Most don't appear to believe much of anything at all. It's a dogmatic stretch for them to say Jesus is coming back.
That's correct. Any denomination that subscribes to the ecumenical creeds with its very simple and straightforward wording about Christ’s return would think that dispensationalism is a radical departure from the historic position.
"He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds.
Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire.
This is the catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved. Amen." (Athanasian Creed)
