Indeed. Hebrews is packed with doctrine and what you posted above is a key teaching.The same Gospel which was preached to Adam and Abraham is the same Gospel that Paul, Peter and all His called preachers do even today.
I have no doubt that you have read both Gill and pink on the covenants. Do you disagree with them?
Paul says in Gal. 1 that those who preach any other Gospel than what he preached let them be accursed.
In Mt 27:52-53, it says the BODIES arose, came out the graves, and went into the city. They were never alive. Think Zombies."
Please clarify, did not Paul reveal a mystery to the Gentiles which had not been known before?The same Gospel which was preached to Adam and Abraham is the same Gospel that Paul, Peter and all His called preachers do even today.
Thank you brother. Another question, was the dispensation of the grace of God mentioned before Paul?It was not understood before but was revealed in the person and work of Christ. The first promise of Christ is found in Gen. 3:15
Certainly, Noah found grace as well as the Gospel being preached to Abraham. Paul clearly tells us in Gal. of the allegory of the bondwoman and the free. The "dispensation of grace" was from before the foundation of the world. You can clearly pick out the hand of God in grace throughout the Old Testament.Thank you brother. Another question, was the dispensation of the grace of God mentioned before Paul?
I have heard of this (Mid-Acts dispensationalism). The moment I discovered it, I recoiled in disgust. I hate sounding harsh, but I can hardly even bring myself to call them Christians. Why call them Christians if the words of Christ don't even apply to those who are calling themselves Christians?
I was very apprehensive of what the reaction to my comment would be, but I'm somewhat relieved now, lol.
I was watching a video of a MAD probably a few months back but didn't know he was a MAD because I had never heard of the ideology at that time. He started saying things like how the Gospels were only for the Jews and how if you try to quote Jesus' teachings, you're quoting heresy. I was like WHAT?!?!?!?!
Doesn't it say in Galatians that Gentile believers are grafted into the olive tree alongside the Jewish believers and that we all inherit the promise together?A clear distinction between Israel and Gentiles, is probably one feature that "Dispensationalism" is most famous for. This age now, the age of Grace, according to "modern dispensationalists" is the age of the Gentiles. And that can be seen very very clearly in the area you visited.
I'm not sure if your aware of it, most people regard John Hagee highly.
But if you would do some research, he is also one of them.
God Bless

The opposite of Dispensational theology is Covenant theology. Thre are two types: Presbyterian Covenant theology by which they a rive at infant baptism and Baptist Covenant theology which is what I subcribe to. I would suggest that you read Arthur Pink on the Covenants. He can be easily found and read online. Also go to freegraceradio.com for a group of outstanding preachers who will point you to Christ in all of the Scriptures. I would give you links but I haven't figured out how on my iPad. My laptop died.Doesn't it say in Galatians that Gentile believers are grafted into the olive tree alongside the Jewish believers and that we all inherit the promise together?

Here is something I was told yesterday that to be honest, both shocked, scared, and amused me.
Speaking on those who arose after Jesus' resurrection, those "saints" are:
I am really beginning to hate the Mid-Acts Dispensationalists!
God Bless

I have been pretty annoyed with this type of dispensationalism lately. They toss out the four gospels and replace Jesus with Paul. This should be placed in the Controversial Theology section. They also fight among themselves.
The sorriest thing about these people is that they run after conspiracy theories. The founder of Mid Acts Dispensationalism--E.W. Bullinger, not to be confused with Heinrich Bullinger, subscribed to FE. He was a member of the Universal Zetetic Society, an FE organization. Now the Hyperdispenationalists of today are following his example are becoming flat earthers. I am left disgusted. There is something wrong with in ideology when it requires you to leave your mind in neutral.
In general Dispensationalism really does not add up with scripture. I see them ignoring parts of the bible. I have had unpleasant experiences with this brand of Christianity during my younger years.
Dispensationalists have a tendency to turn toward conspiracy theories. I have seen Dispensationalists even bring these theories into the church. One even did a whole talk about the big computer in Brussels. The year was 1978 when he did that talk. This kind of behavior biased me against dispensationalism early on.
Reformed Baptist would probably be your best bet if you want to get away from the dispensationalism.
What is a Covenant Theologist supposed to believe about the modern state of Israel? I've seen these claims of how it's not supposed to exist, that it's a Zionist creation, but is there anywhere in the Bible that talks about a counterfeit state of Israel being created? I don't think so. Mind you I am not done reading the OT by a longshot.Wanna hear something funny?
I am a "Dispensationalist".
But, in saying that, I will qualify it by saying I do not agree with everything "Dispensationalism" teaches.
God Bless

Can a Covenant Theologian believe that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy yet maintain that believers in Christ alone are heirs to the "promise"? Is the promise that land anymore, or is it supplanted by "eternal life" of the New Covenant?
disclaimer lol: I didn't read the rest of the comments before I made this one, so I might have missed something.
