Certainly it does.

Actually... no. A Protestant who believes in Dispensationalism will not dispute with someone who is not a Dispensationalist on how one is SAVED -- by faith alone through Christ alone... they may argue about the rapture as to whether or not it's pre-trib, post-trib etc. -- but the issue of saving faith is common.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

They will disagree, at the very least with those who teach salvation by election.

Where are you on this one? Based on the authority of Sola scriptura of course.

Hoss,

I really cannot join you in minimizing the differences between Dispensationalists. To say they differ little on salvation is to gloss over the great divide. One cannot see one call another teaching satanic and say they are not that different at the same time.

This is from a very prominent dispensationalist about another branch.

Wrongly Dividing The Word of Truth by H A Ironside

"So true are these things of this system that I have no hesitancy in saying it is an absolutely Satanic perversion of the truth…
"I cannot conceive of anything more Satanic than this…
Surely this is a masterpiece of Satanic strategy, whereby under the plea of rightly dividing the Word of Truth, the Scriptures are so wrongly divided that they cease to have any message for God's people today, and the Word of the Lord is made of no effect by this unscriptural tradition…
"Personally, I reject it as a Satanic perversion calculated to destroy the power of the Word of God over the souls of His people.
"Many Bullingerites boldly advocate the sleep of the soul between death and resurrection, the annihilation of the wicked, or, as we have seen, universal salvation of all men and demons, the denial of the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ, and, gravest of all, the personality of the Holy Spirit." 
Again, my point is that if sola scriptura is based on the same authority, it cannot result in such radically different religions, or interpretations. You cannot have the same authority saying one is the word of God and the other is from satan. This example illustrates that sola scriptura is incredibly unworkable as a framework for One Faith, One Church.
