dispensation = cessation?

[knownbeforetime]

I've been told this... but is it true?

BTW, I am dispenstionalist and charismatic... Just wondering if I'm trying to touch to north poles together... Make that 3... I lean toward the Calvinist side too!

No, a dispensation doesn't equal cessation. I don't see how those who do equate them can defend it from Scripture. I'm a cessationist, but the arguments for/against it are outside the realm of dispensationalism.

A dispensational charismatic Calvinist is a bit unusual but definitely not incongruous. There are many pentecostals who are also dispensationalists. Wayne Grudem the author is Calvinist and charismatic.

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones was no cessationist and was an anointed Preacher of the One Gospel -he just happened to be reformed, but He did not preach "Calvin" under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, but "Jesus Christ and Him crucified".

It depends on what you mean by being "charismatic". that's a pretty big tent.

How about 'just short of pentecostal'...

And likewise being "dispensational" is quite a big tent as well. Many folks are dispensational, and they don't even know it...

I didn't know I was Calvinist until I started in Wayne Grudem's book...

And you certainly can fit a lot of short pentecostals in a charismatic big tent...
