    Good point. :thumbsup: A cookie cutter dispensationalism is difficult to reconcile with a postmil view of Israel. That is why I took O. Palmer Robinson's Christ of the Covenants and systematically whited-out every use of "covenant" and replaced it with "dispensation". For here on out, I will always refer to O.P. Robinson's Christ of the Dispensations to reconcile "dispensationalism" and Post-millenialism. Now to convince my pastor... ;)

    aware of classic Dispy, as Scofield held to and progressive views, are you advocating a third way now to se it?

    I hold to Baptist Covenant Theology (not New Covenant Theology) in addition to the Doctrines of Grace. Two of our three elders also hold to Baptist Covenant Theology. The third is a Dispensationalist. Our congregation is split on the issue.

    Anyone know why this is in the Calvie/Armie debate thread? This really has nothing to do w/ soteriology of Calvinism or Arminianism. I know Calvie Dispos and Arminian Covenanters.

    maybe the assumption is that arminians are dispy, while calvinists are Covenant?

    Actually, I was really more joking about the subject :smilewinkgrin:
    I do feel like there should be some continuation between dispensations, and it does seem like the promises made to Abraham are also valid to the New Covenant church... frankly I am more confused than anything :confused: Perhaps we will see some sort of synthesis of Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism in the upcoming future...

    Which bears my point... I. Howard Marshall is an Arminian Covenanter. John MacArthur is a Calvinist Dispensationalist. It is a non-issue for this part of the BB.

    I do like John MacArthur. His books are generally timely and more important he writes so that most folks can understand what he says. Of course like all of us he has his failings, one being his dispensationalism.

    Sadly most Southern Baptists around here are dispensational. Even more sad is that the only thing most know about dispensational doctrine is that they are "Rapture Ready"!

    Where I grew up on the Ky-Va border the only people I ever heard about who believed in the millennial reign were the "No Hellers". Them there is Jehovah"s Witness folks!

    ????

    'Community Bible Church' was modeled after 'Riverside Bible Church' in Columbus, Ohio. Their soteriology was nearly identical to PBs, their eschatology was futurist.

    Since 1983.

    Sad that the Scofield Bible was ever published.

    think that there are differing shades of Dispy theology though, as not all of us 100% Scofield version!

    FTR, mainstream Primitive Baptists are neither Covenantal nor Dispensational.
