  7. What is Dispensationalism Dispensationalism is a system of interpretation that seeks to show God’s planfor understanding the overall flow of the Bible. “Dispensationalism is an organized system by which Christians have tried to explain in an orderly way God's entire plan for the earth from its creation to the ushering in of the eternal state as it is unfolded throughout Scripture.” Pastor Craig Sietsema

  10. What is Dispensationalism What are the major tenets of Dispensationalism? • Dichotomy (Not Distinction) between the Old Testament Israel and theNew Testament church • Parenthesis Theory • Literal Interpretation of the Bible “Historical-Grammatical Interpretation”

  11. What is Dispensationalism Classic Dispensationalist - the most important feature of classical dispensationalism is its dualistic idea of redemption. In order to understand the Bible, one needs to recognize that God was pursuing two different purposes, one related to heaven and one related to the earth. These two purposes affected God's dealings with humanity. In fact, they resulted in an anthropological dualism: a heavenly humanity and an earthly humanity."

  12. Revised Dispensationalist -they abandon the eternal dualism of heavenly and earthly peoples.... Instead, they reworked the dualism in more of an organizational sense. There were simply two groups of people. Not heavenly versus earthly, but those represented by Israel and the church.... They are structured differently, with different dispensational prerogatives and responsibilities.... There will be an eternal distinction between Israel and the church, not in metaphysically distinctive kinds of salvation, but in name — the church is always church, Israel is always Israel."

  13. Progressive Dispensationalists - substituted a more specific distinction between Israel and the Church as two forms of redeemed humanity, destined for the same heavenly or new earthly salvation.

  14. How Did Dispensationalism Begin? • J.N. Darby • The Brethern Movement • The Bible Conference Movement • The Bible Institute Movement • The Scofield Reference Bible • Dallas Theological Seminary

  15. What is the Fruit of Dispensationalism Positive Fruit Negative Fruit Clarity forced on distinctions continuity & discontinuity Neglect of God’s Word Leads to Antinomianism Eschatological Speculation Lessons If you believe something that is new & not found in 2000 years of church history, you had better be careful. No scripture is of any private interpretation. The church is a living organism.
