I have met people who call themselves dispensationalists but they insist that Paul's gospel is exactly the same message as what was preached by the 12, when Jesus was in the flesh.
May I check with the rest of you whether such a claim is possible? I have always thought one of the key distinguishing feature of a dispy is being Pauline, and recognizing the distinction between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace.
But are there more types of dispy than that?
As with any school of thought in general, so within Christianity in particular - one is bound to run across different understandings within a same school.
As with Reformed and it's various offshoots, Dispensationalism is no different.
Most who hold to Dispensationalism hold an Acts 2 Dispensationalism, also known as Traditional or Classic Dispensationalism.
Such hold that Peter and Paul preached the same gospel.
This is because Acts 2 Dispensationalism never fully broke from the practice of mixing as one and the same various of those things that differ between Israel and the Body.
Then there is Acts 9 Dispensationalism aka Mid-Acts Dispensationalism - we hold that Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel.
Peter and the Eleven had preached Israel's gospel - that Jesus Christ had been Israel's promised Messiah and King. This belief along with obeying Moses is all that is required in Matthew thru Early Acts - both before and after Christ's Death, Burial, and Resurrection.
In contrast, Paul preached - among the Gentiles - that Christ died for our sins and rose again for our justification.
Paul refers to this as "But now the righteousness of God without the law is made manifest..." for this began to be preached after God temporarily turned from His Prophesied plan and purpose for Israel AS A NATION.
Then you have Acts 28 Dispensationalism, which holds that Peter and Paul had preached a same gospel but only until Acts 28, when, per Acts 28 Dispensationalism, God temporarily turned from Israel and began the Body of Christ, with its' own gospel through Paul.
Mid-Acts is itself now divided between the above Mid-Acts Dispensationalism and another Mid-Acts that holds Paul had preached three gospels - two in Acts, one after.
Their views are clearly a mix or "hybrid" of Acts 9 and Acts 28 Dispensationalism.
Hope that helps...
