The Israel of God

Posted: August 22, 2011 by Michael Dewalt in Dispensationalism

Galatians 6: 14 But far be it from me to boast, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, [...]

Christ, Israel, and the Church

Posted: May 31, 2011 by Michael Dewalt in Dispensationalism

Written by Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., Th.D., Director, NiceneCouncil.com Dispensationalism has two key commandments that call its followers to true obedience: “First, thou shalt always, forever, and without fail hold, maintain, defend, promote, and even suffer martyrdom for a distinct and dominant future for geo-political Israel — thou and thy house after thee.”  Indeed, the distinction [...]

What is Dispensational Hermeneutics? In short, Dispensationalism has more to do with commitment to a particular hermeneutic then it does to adherence to a theological model. The Dispensational theological system arises out of a hermeneutic rather than from a theology imposed upon Scripture. They interpret the Scriptures with a literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic through all of the [...]

Irenaeus was Premil but was He a Dispy?

Posted: June 23, 2010 by Michael Dewalt in Dispensationalism, Irenaeus

Quote taken from “Against Heresies”, in The Ante-Nicene Fathers, Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson Peabody, MA: Hendrickson [...]

Justin Martyr writes, “For the true spiritual Israel, and descendants of Judah, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham (who in uncircumcision was approved of and blessed by God on account of his faith, and called the father of many nations), are we who have been led to God through this crucified Christ.” Not hardly folks. Quote taken [...]

Charles Spurgeon preaches, “These who saw Christ’s day before it came, had great differences as to what they knew,… But they were all washed in the same blood, all redeemed with the same ransom price, and made members of the same body, Israel in the covenant of grace is not natural Israel, but all believers [...]
