sir God can allow people to die at any moment during the age of grace. 975 have died of corona today alone in america just in about 12 hours. God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants. God is not limited by ages or dispensations, God is beyond time and space and sees the end from the beginning.
again christians die every day from sins they commit. Think of drug abuse etc. I think overdose is God judging a person temporarily for sin. I am not saying addiction to chemicals causes salvation to go away, I am just saying that deaths happen all the time due to God judging our actions. Think of drunk driving and hitting a tree. God allowed that. I think it's God judging sin. But this is what I mean, most people see this is the case. But dispensationalists are so caught up on the various theological boundaries set up that they confuse themselves on basic stuff.
and yet they were all saved, Jesus said repeatedly they were saved, and they hadn't even had faith in the resurrection of Christ. So that just goes to show, that I think as long as you don't deny the miraculousness of Christ and His life, but you have repented and trusted in His salvation. God will work out the kinks in your theology, sometime in your life. I went soteriologically from thinking people who believe in repentance were not saved and were teaching heresy, to becoming one of those preaching repentance. So I have seen both sides of the theological spectrum. And both sides treat the other side as really bad. It's important to have grace with those different than ourselves. I have never NEVER met someone I agreed with 100% on all doctrine. So there is that. If I chose to have my friends only who agreed with me 100%, I would be very lonely indeed.
There is only one salvation. Period. The Gospel of the kingdom for example is the same gospel as pauls gospel, is the same as the everlasting gospel, it's all the same. This is a dispensational misunderstanding. I think God focuses on different aspects of the same gospel because different audiences needed different emphasis. But it is cumulatively one gospel. You find the same issue with the synoptic problem, what would seem like a contradiction between two gospel writers becomes clear when you study that they were written for different audiences, and different emphasis. The Gospel of John does not have the word repent at all in it for example. But matthew talks all about the gospel of the kingdom. But that is because jews were looking for a king. The messiah, the a gospel of the kingdom made sense to them. But jews are not saved any different than a gentile. It's just that certain aspects were verbalized differently.
sir you just made all of Christs words null and void until paul somehow miraculously brough all of Christs words alive. Becuase they were somehow not active until paul? This is what I mean. I could never go back to classical dispensationalism. It's just too strange when you take a macro snapshot of it. It dices and slices the scripture into like 7 or more dispensations, each with their own gospel. No thanks, I think I will just read scripture and believe all of it applies to all of us as we should believe.
ok then Jesus was only for the Jews according to those verses. Are you Jewish, if not then don't call yourself a christian. Right? That is what you mean?
