Without a dispensational perspective it is difficult to reconcile all of Paul’s teachings. One in particular, telling his readers that those in Christ have passed from condemnation into life is especially tricky and leads to such notions that Christians will be judged at the GWT at the end of the millennium. Nobody will be Heaven except they be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. There will be a number so large no man (in Paul’s epoch) could number them, and that BEFORE the GWT of Judgment. Those in Heaven will be there because of the Righteousness of Christ imputed to them, so there is therefore now no condemnation thus no being ‘judged’ at the GWT ... additionally, in technical terms, those Raptured or brought to Heaven during the Tribulation due to their calling upon The Savior are no longer among ‘all men great and small’ for they are a new creation. For the New Creatures there is no Second death for their spirit Bodies are alive forever more.

I've no idea what a 'dispensational perspective' is.

It's never been stressed in the 36 years I've attended a Wesleyan congregation.
