You missed the point as usual. The point was that dispensationalism is a new theology. And you even have changed their teaching, and you call us redefinitionlist.

Dispensational Theology

......Dispensational theology is probably the most popular theological understanding in America at this time, even though it has a more recent origin than Covenant theology. The development of Dispensational theology dates back to the nineteenth century in Britain. J.N. Darby (1800-1882), an Irish lawyer, sought to explain the uniqueness of the Christians' spiritual condition "in Christ." To explain the radical different in Christian "benefits" from that afforded to peoples in all prior times, Mr. Darby employed the division of time into distinct "dispensations." Harry Ironside, a later proponent of Dispensational theology, noted that "until Mr. J.N. Darby...it (the dispensational idea of a postponed kingdom) is scarcely to be found in a single book or sermon through a period of sixteen hundred years."4 Darby's novel idea of distinguishing "dispensations" of time became the basis of a new theological system known as "Dispensationalism."

Don't forget Jehovah Witnesses, they change as the years march on.

Same thing with Dispensationalism.

Notice the use of Sean's modified Dispensational Theology. That says it all.

Brother Blume has continually made a valid point, where does the apostles or Jesus ever teach 7 dispensations? Or even use the word dispensation as Dispensationalists use the word?

[Evang.Benincasa]

When Paul uses the word dispensation it means to preach the Gospel of God's grace. When never read where he preaches about Moses preaching a dispensation of law? We don't have John introducing us to him preaching that he is dispensing the Gospel of a Millennium?

None of the above.

Sorta.

The Bible mentions dispensations. I see Law and grace.

I have not thought about covenant theology since my college days.

I have never heard of the Christocentric theology. But it is fun to spell.

When the bible mentions dispensations it does not use it in the way that dispensationalism did.

Someday someone will write a book about the impact the Scofield and the Thompson study Bibles have had on American Pentecostal theology.

The companion book would be the impact of Dispensational Truth (Clarence Larkin) on American Pentecostal eschatology.

But I will not write it.

I pray it comes sooner than later.

I fixed it.

Folks commonly bash something they found broken, to prove their broken doctrines are right.

2 wrongs never make a right.

Get your own doctrine right, instead of bashing your(false teaching) cousin's wrong doctrine.
