#mid-acts

Mid-Acts Dispensationalism is a Christian theological view within dispensational theology that teaches God began a new dispensation (or administrative period) with the apostle Paul, specifically around Acts 9 (Paul’s conversion) or Acts 13. It is called “Mid-Acts” because it places the start of the Church in the middle of the Book of Acts, rather than at Pentecost (Acts 2). Core Beliefs 1. Two…

I am a dispensationalist, but there is a shelf in my office dedicated to books that oppose dispensational teaching. They are from the other side of the doctrinal aisle. It is good to be aware of your weaknesses, AND THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY THEM IS BY LISTENING TO THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU. There are good and bad arguments against dispensationalism and I want to know what they are. The shelf…

CONTRARY TO 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16 Why does the vast majority who refer to themselves as Christian, believe that Christianity is largely a way of life whereby Jesus, during His earthly ministry to Israel (Matthew 15:24 – King James Bible) is seen as THE ensample they are to follow in order for them to gain salvation and thus, entry into paradise?

What however is…

Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, Pentecostals, Methodists, Puritans and Anglicans, amongst others, also label themselves with this generic term, and everyone who calls…

Ever thought how utterly crazy Acts 28 theology is which hands Paul’s Acts epistles over to Israel (the Jews and their proselytes), then at the same gtoken believes 2 Corinthians 5:19 and Galatians 2:7 must be applied today. Romans 15:15-19Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, If…

To be truly Pauline in doctrine, the “tools” of dispensational right division have to be applied even when reading Paul’s epistles, namely: Tool # 1. Gauge who is speaking to whom. Tool # 2. One has to take note of the subject at hand. Tool # 3. Take into consideration when are they speaking about? Tool # 4. Why are they speaking about it? Tool # 5. Context. Strawman # 1: “The twelve…
