So by that idea the Blood and sacrifice of Christ did not cover the Old Testament believers. Because under your view only the church believer received atonement for their sins.

Yet we see that Christ became the propitiation for us as but not for us alone but for the whole world.

His blood covered the Old Testament believer as well as those of the church. His atonement was unlimited for all depraved mankind, they only need to believe on Him by Grace through Faith to be saved.

 

Dispensations merely teaches that God through covenants dealt with mankind through different ages or dispensations of time. As Paul says God has given us a dispensation of Grace that is a covenant of grace in which He deals directly with us. God in the O.T. dealt with or had mankind worship by means of sacrifices looking forward to the coming of the Savior who would be the propitiatory sacrifice. The O.T. saw different means of Priest offering up those sacrifices. We are believer Priest and as such are able to confess our sins directly to Him thus His Grace.

Christ death on t he cross clearly became the satisfactory payment for sin. Hid blood was shed to remove the sin issue. And He that Christ in John 3:17 made it clear those who believe are not condemned those who don't believe are condemned already because of their unbelief.

As for different resurrections that too is clear in scripture. For in Revelation 20 we see those who are unbelievers judged and raised after the 1000 year Kingdom.

The Revelation of Jesus Chapter 20 verse 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Very clear the unrighteous are not resurrected at the same time.

Also clear is the the First Resurrection is completed upon Christ return and subsequent reign upon the earth, The Revelation of Jesus Chapter 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

No question except for a few that their is a first Resurrection and then a second.

Dispensationalist follow the teaching of the apostles and the early church fathers. On God dealing with mankind as for as worship goes through periods of times and certain covenants.

Christ death we are told in 1 John 2:2 brought propitiation that is a satisfactory blood sacrifice for sin. First it is for t hose of us who believe then John says but not for us alone but for the whole world, that is all of mankind. The issue for salvation is one has a oerson believed on Christ or rejected the Grace payment He paid.

We see this not only in John 3:17-18, but also in the Revelation of Jesus chapter 20, 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Very clear unbelief is the issue, the penalty for sin has been propitiated, that God is satisfied with the payment, one just needs to believe on the Lord Jesus to be save and receive the benefit of His Propitiatory sacrifice.

 

The dispensational I was taught connects covenants with each dispensation. In fact until I begin to see the amil view of dispensations I never saw them not connected.

I have stated and will state that Genesis 3:15 promised the savior who would have his heel brushed by satan but would also crush satans head. God dealt with Adam and Eve by Grace through their faith. But Cain rejected the savior offered and refused to offer a proper sacrifice.

Believers offered sacrifices to God the Father while the unbelievers offered sacrifices to false gods.

Jesus stated very clearly sin was not the issue, John 3:17-18,
17 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

So sin is to be condemned by what you say,

Notice real close what Jesus stated as to why they are condemned,

Very clear people are sent to the Lake of Fire because they fail to believe, not because of specific sins.
We see in the Revelation of Jesus, Chapter 20, 15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

So how does on get their name written in the book of Life?

John 3 gives the answer, verse 18

Believing on Christ saves, believing what that He was the Savior who died on the cross and HIS blood became the payment for sin. Believing that His efficacious work on the cross, Death, Burial and Resurrection was the only way and means of salvation and that God was satisfied with the one and only true sacrifice Jesus who became the propitiation for all of mankind which can only be effective to those who believe.

 

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Where in this verse do you see them cast into the Lake of Fire for thier sins?

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Where do you see it say these are condemned already because of sin?

 

Romans 3 is further proof of Faith saving and rejection that is not having faith condemns,

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

The unbeliever is not made righteous, his sin is paid for by the efficacious work of Christ, but they are not made Right with God because of unbelief. We all sin even as believers. Confession restores fellowship because the sinning believer is not condemned to the Lake of Fire but is not condemned because of Faith.

 

Prove it....................

 

That's your man Darby's translation above.

Christ died for the Church --international in scope throughout all ages. Christ died for the elect --the called-out ones. I don't know where you are getting "purchased all biblically based churches composed of such obedient believers."

Christ laid down his life for his sheep. Acts 20:28 applied to that local congregation(s) gathered at Ephesus and all believers in all ages that were chosen in him before the creation of the world.

No, it doesn't say that in Ephesians 5. I want you to name New Testament Bible scholars who make that assertion.

 

Ok none of that does anything to prove your assertion. You said there are people who never hear about Christ and die and go to hell. Prove there are people who never hear about Christ and die.

 

It is "yours" just as much as it is "mine."
When it comes to the word "ekklesia" Darby translates it correctly and consistently as "assembly" which is the correct meaning.

The LITV (Literal version) is the other translation which does the same:
Act 20:28 Then take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God which He purchased through His own blood.
--I prefer Darby's translation over the LITV. But both give a more accurate rendering of at least this word than the other translations. Ekklesia means assembly or congregation. There is no such thing as a universal church. It is impossible to have an unassembled assembly. Darby had the common sense to realize this.

He may have died for the family of God, for the kingdom, for the Bride of Christ, etc. but he did not die for "The Church." There is no "Church," unless you believe in the RCC. This mystic, universal, invisible, imaginary Church does not exist. It cannot. It defies the meaning of ekklesia which can only mean assembly and can only exist in time and space. It assembles--together, is organized, has purpose--carries out the Great Commission; baptizes new converts, and remembers to celebrate the Lord's Table. I have never seen a universal invisible Church do those things.

According to Acts 20:17-28 He laid down his life for the church at Ephesus. Read your Bible.

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave Himself up on its behalf,
--My authority is the Bible. The above verse from the LITV should be clear enough. The "assembly" referred to is the one Paul was writing to, the one at Ephesus. There is no such thing as a universal assembly. It is a contradiction of terms. An assembly must assemble.
The word "church" is an inaccurate translation.
