I like how the author spends the first quarter of the article just making one unsubstantiated claim after another. Criticizing saints of God with lies and insults - a regular feature and identifying mark of Dysfunctionalists.This author clearly does not understand the Gospel and has zero knowledge on the doctrines of Redemption if he truly believes, that despite Romans 10:12; Gal 3:28; Col 3:11 "for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek" that only the "elect" can be ethnic "DNA Certified" Jews (and even more trouble explaining proselytes and folks like the gentile Rahab), then there is no hope for his own Salvation for he has clearly rejected all teachings of Jesus Christ and the Sovereignty of God.
Your observation here is useful.
Of course, you can't be a real Dispensationalist until you just blurt out pure blasphemy:
If they can't read Ephesians 2 with clear eyes and unstopped ears ("Fellow citizens. Dividing wall broke down. La la la! I can't hear you!"), why do we expect that they will read Ephesians 1 that way? Or Galatians. Or Romans. Or Hebrews.
This lot certainly seems to think highly of human capability. It might be worthwhile, sometime, querying them on original sin. I heard one dispensational teacher (a minor guy involved in some way with LaHaye's pretrib group, of my personal acquaintance) flat out deny it. I don't think he knew that's what he was doing, but he did.
They need the gospel preached to them.

I have some respect for the traditional Premillennial Dispensationalists because I can chalk up the error to a hermeneutical disagreement or a foundational template mistake in having the Old Testament decode the new whereas Reformed teaching claims that New Testament decodes the Old.
What has clearly happened here is a complete jettisoning of the Scriptures and of any coherent set of doctrines by this recent cabal - hence why I distinguish them from Dispensationlists by the pejorative Dysfunctionalist.
I'm seeing a meme going on these days, both in the political arena and sadly, the theological realm whereas it is fashionable to take a traditional proposition, and turn it completely upside down. I have seen articles that claim that this nation's founding fathers were actually socialists who embraced "redistribution of the wealth". Like this parody of reasoning, claiming that "Calvinists are not Elect" is an exercise in what I consider deliberate and malicious deconstruction of the language and of our values. In the political article, the author had to redefine things like "taxation" and "wealth redistribution". The current regime also like to call "tax cuts" as "subsidies". So I believe it is the same sort of malevolent forces that wish to stir up strife, discord and chaos by having us doubt even the foundations of our faith by saying that God only favors and "Elects" Jews. That is just plain evil.
